It's rather the opposite. In the W3C DOM, there is no such thing as document.write to the current document, there is only an open-write-close sequence for creating complete new documents. In the W3C DOM, modifications to the current document should be done by manipulating the DOM. As far as I can remember, even the Netscape 4 DOM had document.open, although it allows current document writes. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
