Gah! Document.write is dead!

134 100+

Alright, I'm embedding HTML, Javascript, and CSS all in PHP and right now, the javascript isn't functioning properly.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<script type='text/javascript'>

var contents=\"\";

    function dispcontent() {

    var contents='1';

    }

</script>

</head>

<body class='leftstyle'>

<u><font size='+1' style='font-weight:bold;'>Vardaes Manual</font></u>

<br><br><br>

<br><b>Navagation:</b><br>

<table>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <a href='home.php' target='maindisp' onmouseover='dispcontent()'>Manual Home</a>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <a href='help.php' target='maindisp'>Help Getting Started</a>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <a href='classes&races.php' target='maindisp'>Classes And Races</a>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <a href='rules.php' target='maindisp'>Rules of Vardaes</a>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <a href='origin.php' target='maindisp'>History of Vardaes</a>

        </td>

    </tr>

</table>

<hr>

<script type='text/javascript'>

while (contents=='1') {

    document.write(\"Here it goes\");

    }

</script>

Basically, what I want to happen is (in the end) an onclick function that will call a table to the page without refresh. Right now, I'm using an onmousover to make things quicker. If I use a straight document.write to insert the table, the page dies. Like this code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    function dispcontent() {

    document.write(\"Blah\");

    }

If I try to make it a variable (like the above function), the page doesn't work. HELP!

Create a div or span:
[HTML]<div id="myDiv"></div>[/HTML] then set the innerHTML of that div instead of using document.write:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

document.getElementById("myDiv").innerHTML='Blah!';

You can't use document.write after the page has loaded.
