Nesting Javascript inside javascript

thinkfacility

I've been trying to use the document.writeln(''); function to make some navigation links. Recently I found a nice rollover navigation template online for free, and I've been trying to make it work. The code I'm using is:

document.writeln('<div class="nav"><a href="default.htm"

onClick="returnclickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1,

"150px")" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">Web Design</a> | <a href="default2.htm"

onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseover="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1,

"150px")" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()">More Sites</a></div>');

But it's not working, are you not allowed to nest javascript inside of document.writeln's or something like that?

why are you making it so difficult? Razz

couldn't just make a link and add all the JavaScript functions there. (I think..)
Just with HTML tags (not with the writeln rubbish Razz

)

1. Make sure to put the entire document.write statement on one line, without newlines.

2. You can't nest "-delimited strings within other "-delimited strings, so this will not work:

Well, if I didn't use the writeln then I'd have to use frames wouldn't I? I'm trying to make it so that I can update the entire navigation area on every page by only changing one file

Ooo...the backslashes did the trick! Very Happy

I noticed that the ' marks made the entire thing not show up, so I just removed them...guess I needed them after all! Thanks a bunch MrBlueSky!

If you want to update multiple pages by editing one file, you don't want to use javascript, but PHP includes.
