Why did you decide to create a series of global variables? Use the var
keyword to keep them local.
By the way, this would be better written as:
function displayMadLib( form ) {
var elems = form.elements;
// Could use an array rather than separate variables
var w1 = elems[ 'adj1' ].value,
w2 = elems[ 'place1' ].value,
w3 = elems[ 'place2' ].value,

M.******@blueyonder.co.invalid (replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply)
Heya rt,
I'm going at add a little to Mike's reply in the interest of caution
when using document.write and document.writeln. It is
encouraged to use document.open() to let the browser know you're going
to be creating a new document and document.close()
to tell the browser exactly when it can render the new document. My
browser in particular (Mozilla 1.7b) never "finished" loading the page.
Also, it's important to be aware that document.write() writes the entire
document.
In other words, you've left out "<html><head>..." etc. and you just have
a document consisting of "The attack of the purple tissue!...". While many
browsers will default to wrapping and rendering such a document fragment
as HTML, it's good practice to give your new document a definite
document type
node and a definite core structure:
var docHeader = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?>\n";
// Mike likes HTML4.01, but I prefer introducing the simplicity of XML for new web designers.
docHeader += "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD XHTML 1.1\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\">\n";
// Double slashes have to be escaped lest they be mistaken for comments.
docHeader += "<html xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\">";
docHeader += "<head>\n";
docHeader += "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"application/xhtml+xml; charset=iso-8859-1\">\n";
docHeader += "<title>Random Mad Lib - Your Mad Lib!</title>\n";
docHeader += "</head>\n";
docHeader += "<body>\n";
var docFooter = "</body>\n</html>";
// The above two variables are good to keep around if you use document.write/ln a lot.
[snip]
document.open();
document.write(docHeader);
document.writeln("The attack of the purple tissue!!!<br> Once there was a/an "
+ w1
+ " tissue attacking a "
+ w2
+ " in"
+ w3
+ "! The tissue was even"
+ w4
+ "the"
+ w5
+ "! 4"
+ w6
+ "died of heart attacks. The"
+ w7
+ "was"
+ w8
+ "Suddenly, "
+ w9
+ "man came to"
+ w10
+ "the"
+ w11
+ ". He went up to the tissue and kicked it in the"
+ w12
+ ", and the tissue"
+ w13
+ "to the ground. Its snot covered the "
+ w14
+ ", and everything there"
+ w15
+ ".");
document.write(docFooter);
document.close();

That is a strange notion in the context of a post discussing the -
write - method as Mozilla's XHTML DOM does not implement the W3C HTML
DOM HTMLDocument interface on the document object, and as a result does
not implement a - write - method at all. So introducing the new web
designer to XHTML in this context implies abandoning the whole approach
in favour of the namespace versions of the DOM Core Node manipulation
methods, for the replacement of the content.
While I don't agree with the decision not to implement HTMLDocument in
the XHTML DOM on Mozilla, Mozilla is easily the most widely used browser
that provides a scriptable DOM for use with XHTML so its implementation
is significant when considering the subject of scripting XHTML
documents.

Heya Richard,
Interesting, I never noticed that (I've managed to avoid using
document.write() in any of my projects).
Although it's still listed under the DOM Inspector, I noticed that
trying to use it just returns an internal context error. Many other
DOM2 HTML interfaces are still implemented, though. Where can I see a
specification of Mozilla's XHTML DOM ? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
