    document.write

    can anyone tell me how to stop the document.write opening a new window
    when called in a function, what I want to do is really simple but is
    is defeating at every turn.
    I have a line of text that is a link on an html page, when clicked i
    want the the function called to print a name, imediatly after the
    calling link (on the same page) please help whilst I still have some
    hair left.

    TIA

      I have read the following message from Trevor Stapleton

      and my reply is:
      A document.write done after the page has been displayed always replaces
      the entire page including any scripts that were in the page. You will
      need some other method such as a form or iFrame. You can also
      dynamically replace a division using the innerHTML function but I have
      not had much success with it.

      Replace domain.invalid with dcsi.net

          Consider the use of ".innerHTML ":

          <html>
          <head>
          <title>inner.ht m</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
          function inner() {
          results.innerHT ML = "<b>" + document.forms[0].text.value + "</b>";
          }
          </script>
          </head>
          <body onload="documen t.forms[0].text.focus()">
          Type something and press "Enter".
          <br>
          <form>
          <input type="text" name="text" onblur="inner() "> &nbsp;
          <span id="results" />
          </form>
          </body>
          </html>

              <a href="coolpage. html" onclick="addTex t(this); return false;">Click
              here!</a>
              <br>
              <a href="coolpage. html" onclick="addTex t(this); return false;">And here!</a>

              function addText(x) {
              x.innerHTML += ' Ah, that feels good!';
              }

              This should work on modern browsers. The return false is just for testing -
              it prevents "coolpage.h tml" from being loaded (thus disabling the link) -
              but without it, you wouldn't see any result as coolpage would load
              immediately.
