document.write(), external script and refresh

[pseudomagazine]

Little problem:

Using the document.write() function and an enormous string, I have managed to create self-generated pages with functions calling code located in external scripts. The code that generates these pages is linked to these pages from within the document.write() string. So far so good.

I lifted on the internet a supercode (flashobject.js) that detects Flash pluggin and loads Flash movies in id'ed <div> only in browsers equipped with Flash Player. Graceful and light. Linked to the self-generated pages as external script file, the code allows for some smart banners. So far so good.

Problem is: The flashobject.js works fine on first load. However, when the page rewrites itself (through the document.write() method), the browser doesn't link the function (embedded just before closing </body> tag) to the external script file (flashobject.js). Funny thing is: when you hit 'Refresh' on the toolbar, the flashobject function DOES work. It's only upon document.write() that the script won't happen.

Would like to have a line a code to insert somewhere so that the browser understands that there has been a 'rewrite' of the page and it's time to load the flashobject.js again... Any idea? The problem might be with the flashobject.js file itself... If you feel charitable and patient, here are the links to both external js. MANY MANY THANKS! Cheers!

Hi Nico,

I guess your problem is related to mine. I found that if the external javascript contains further document.write() calls, they get delayed after the page has finished loading. Therefore the output of those document.write() calls gets attached to page's end (IE) or onto a new page (Firefox).
