writing to a page

[iz0nlee]

is it possible to write text into a page or does the whole page have to be
re written using Document.Write?
I'm an absolute beginner and wanted to add lines of text when a button is
clicked. the only references i can find are to text boxes or alerts. if I
use Document.Write the page changes to hiving only the text I wrote so do I
have to rewrite the whole page into the script. Could be a long job.

You can write to an iFrame as I do on my Amtrak page.

See http:www.dcs-chico.com/~denmarks/amtrak.html

-- in body
<iframe src="initial page to display - optional" name="framename"
height="?" width="?" scrolling="auto">This text will appear if iframe
is not supported</iframe>

-- in a script
iFrameWindow=frames["framename"];
iFrameWindow.document.open();
iFrameWindow.document.write("This is the text");
iFrameWindow.document.close();

Yes. Its what dHTML is all about. Thats assuming you mean document.write and
not Document.Write (javascript is case sensitive)

It is also automatically posted to the group on a fairly regular basis,
I am surprised that you have missed it, especially as it has come in for
an unusual amount of comment in the last week.
