Document or Window.open question

Grunty · Feb 2, 2006

Being a newbie to javascript I thought I would find this easy but I am getting confused between Document.open and Window.open.

What I am trying to do is to Create a blank html page, write html code to it, then save it.

Would be gratefull for any pointers.

The "document" is what's IN the window.

Code:

var x = window.open("");
x.document.open();
x.document.write("<html><body>Hello, World!</body></html>");
x.document.close();

I think that'll do it.

Is that what you're after?

Hi,

Hope this will help you

Code:

window.open("") //it to open blank window 
// write to the blank window need to open the document strem
// optional argument is mimeType and default is text/html
// ex:document.open("text/html");
document.open() //open document stream
document.write("<b>Some text</b>") // write some text document
document.close()// close the document ie., save the text

Cheers

Also, I just typed javascript document open into Google. The first link was very informative. I imagine javascript window open would be equally helpful.

Thanks for the replies.

Having studied the code, I think I will be better off using vbscript or even vb. Eventually I want to expand the utility to include several other functions, none of which involve html documents.
