The Object Scripting Model - The Document Object

The Document Object.

The Documents' methods.
The documents methods are used by the document to control what is displayed in it.

The clear method
document.clear()
Clears the documents write buffer.
The close method
document.close()
Writes the contents of the document write buffer to the sceen and closes the write buffer.
The open method
document.open()
Opens the documents write buffer, any write or writeln commands that occur after this write to the now open write buffer.
The write method
document.write(string)
Writes the string specified to the write buffer.
e.g.
1. &SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
2. 
9. </SCRIPT>
This will (if entered directly into an HTML document) create an HTML file with just Hello displayed in the top left hand corner.
This sequence can be used to add ANY HTML dynamically to an HTML document. If you look at the souce for our frameset page then you'll see an example of this.
The writeln method
document.writeln(string)
Writes the string specified to the write buffer followed by a carridge return/line feed character.
Works in the same way as the write() method apart from the carridge return bit.
