document.write( ) problem

Hi, please can somebody help me with this? I have a HTML document
displayed in an iframe. Controls on the HTML page are data bound to an
XML file. I use a drop-down list to move between the different
recordsets in the XML file and hence change the text displayed in the
HTML page.

I use JavaScript to display the contents of the iframe in a separate
window. The new window displays the HTML page. The problem is that
contents of the HTML page are always for the first recordset in the XML
file even when I change to a different recordset.

I found that if I omit the document.write from the code then it works
OK. Am I doing something wrong?

Here's the JS code:

function displayFullScre en() {

newWindow = window.open("", "newWin",
"toolbar=yes,lo cation=no,scrol lbars=no,resize able=yes,width= screen.width,he ight=screen.hei ght,left=0,top= 0")

newWindow.docum ent.write((getR framedoc()).doc umentElement.ou terHTML)
newWindow.docum ent.close()
}

thanks again.

There does not seem to be anything wrong with the code as it is, perhaps
with data bound controls any content change is to reflected in
inner/outerHTML.
Can you post a URL where you try the above?

Hello I have a block of html code that I want to run by calling a javascript function to print it. Its basically a table with menu items in it that is the same for many pages, and instead of copying/pasting everytime I change it, I figure this will be better, as I only change it once. The problem is, document.write doesn't handle multiple lines very well, so I was wondering what is the best way to do this? Maybe there is even a better...

In the application we are currently building, we need to write positioning code on-the-fly, based upon the screen offset of the element in the AS/400 application which drives the Web app. The 400, like DOS, uses memory-mapped display, two bytes per character (one char byte and one attribute byte). We can get the screen offset allright, and I've written a javascript which does the math to convert the offset into row/col (i.e. left, top)...

How can I make an XHTML-compliant form of an expression in this format: document.write("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='path/to/file.js'>"+"</scr"+"ipt>"); this turns out to be a non-trivial exercise. inserting '&lt;' and '&gt;' causes the browser to write the text to the page as literal text rather than as the intended script element. Using escape codes seemed to work (makes it standard compliant) but the text is not written to...

Hi All-- I'm a bit stymied here. I need to display arbitrary HTML obtained through AJAX. The problem is when a <script> block is encountered one can't use innerHTML to set the content, because the <script> block won't be evaluated. Googling around, a found the createContextualFragment() solution which does execute script code. The following, for example, works:
