ok im slowly learning jscript but i dont get this bit:

can someone enlighten me how to do this:

<code>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function submenu(item)
{
document.write('<div id="\'+item+\'layer" class="dd">');
}
//-->
</script>

<body onLoad="submenu(help);">

</code>

i will basically have quite a few lines of similar code but there will be one word different - and i dont wanna use arrays as this isnt flexible enough for me :)

so how can i get it to output?

thanks!

The quotes aren't quite right. Try something like this instead..
document.write("<div id='"+item+"layer' class='dd'>");

anyway - thanks for the input - same as what i eventually came up with - i reallynedd to learn this not just use trial and error :) i knew the rough syntax but was just a bit out :)
