Document.write in same page

kondakindi · Jul 13, 2005

Hi,
I have this html page for validation i have written a Java Script.For diplaying error if any i use window.document.write(" error ");
But it goes to new page is it possible that it goes to the same page just displaying the error on the top or bottom
Thanks

Hi kondakindi,

You can't use document.write() for that.
It overwrites the current document.

Replace that command with:

Code:

alert(" error ");

Example:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <title></title>
<script>
function ckError(){
	if((1 + 2) != 4) {
		  alert(" error ");
		  }
}
</script>  
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="ckError()" value="Click Me">

</body>
</html>

Hope it's helpful.

Alternatively, you can include an empty span in your page, and insert the error message into that when you need to:

Code:

<span id="errmsg" style="color:red;font-weight:bold;"></span>

document.getElementById("errmsg").innerText = "You have made an error";

This technique is also handy for displaying debugging messages without a lot of annoying alert boxes.
