document.write alternatives

[Marks]

I have a Javascript code which is in a .js file, I'm aware that document.write doesn't work with XHTML/Firefox however does in I.E

Is there an alternative that does work?

Do you mean an alternative for XHTML? document.write does work in normal HTML in probably all browsers.

How about another way for it to work with XHTML? =)

Use the DOM methods, e.g. document.createElement() and set the element's attributes using setAttribute, for example.

Here's my code how would I go about changing it?

rnd.today=new Date();
rnd.seed=rnd.today.getTime();
 
function rnd() {
        rnd.seed = (rnd.seed*9301+49297) % 233280;
        return rnd.seed/(233280.0);
};
 
function rand(number) {
    var result = Math.ceil(rnd()*number);
    if (!result)result++;
        return result
};
var ad_cnt2 = 3;
var ad2 = rand(ad_cnt2);
var link2;
var adBanner2;
var width2
var height2
if (ad2==1) {
link2="http://www.domain.com";
adBanner2="http://www.link2.com/banner.gif";
width2="468";
height2="60";
alt2="Title";
}
document.write('<a href="' + link2 + '" target="_blank">');
document.write('<img class="banner" src="' + adBanner2 + '" width=' + width2 + ' height=' + height2 + ' border=0 alt="' + alt2 + '"></a>');

There is alternative way for document.write is assign output to DIV tag
like
document.getElementById("your div id").innerHTML = "your text";

Here's my code how would I go about changing it?

...
document.write('<a href="' + link2 + '" target="_blank">');
document.write('<img class="banner" src="' + adBanner2 + '" width=' + width2 + ' height=' + height2 + ' border=0 alt="' + alt2 + '"></a>');

Create the element and then set its attributes:

elem = document.createElement("a");
elem.href = link2;
elem.target = "_blank";
document.body.appendChild(elem);

and likewise for the second statement.

I don't think innerHTML is supported properly yet for XHTML in all browsers.
