I have a function which writes to the document with "document.write". When I set
the function with setInterval, the whole document will be replaced by what the
function writes out.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
load following html in browser:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
begin</br>
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
function getthedate(){
var mydate=new Date()
document.write(mydate)
}
setInterval("getthedate()",1000)
</SCRIPT></br>
end
</body>
</html>
Actual Results:
Fri Jan 28 2005 14:32:52 GMT+0800 (CST)
Expected Results:
wherever the "Fri Jan 28 2005 14:32:52 GMT+0800 (CST)" is written to, the
"begin" and "end" should not be lost.

Why do you think that? IE is doing exactly the same.
This is just how document.write works.

IE does the same thing. Your function is called after the page finishes loading
and the document.write clobbers the page. I would say invalid.
