updateing document.write

ok, i'm using document.write to show the value of a variable.


document.write("Variable 1 equals " + (variable 1) + " .");



if the value of variable 1 changes, how do I get it to say the new value?

After it has already been written to the page you would have to use innerHTML (http://www.mozilla.org/docs/dom/domref/dom_el_ref8.html).

<script>
function add(){
a.innerHTML=eval(a.innerHTML)+1;
}
</script>
<button onclick=add()>click me</button>
<div id="a">1</div>

is there something i can use instead of document.write that would automattically change it as soon as it changes? i dont want to have to resort to alert messages. Would a text field change instantly?

wouldn't that make it so you would have to click a button???
