HTML DOM open() Method

Complete Document Object Reference

Definition and Usage

The open() method opens a stream to collect the output from any document.write or document.writeln methods.

Note: If a document already exists in the target, it will be cleared. If this method has no arguments, a new window with about:blank is displayed.

Syntax

document.open(mimetype,replace)

Parameter	Description
mimetype	Optional. Specifies the type of document you are writing to. Default value is "text/html"
replace	Optional. When set, it causes the history entry for the new document to inherit the history entry from the parent document

Example

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function createNewDoc()
  {
  var newDoc=document.open("text/html","replace");
  var txt="<html><body>Learning about the DOM is FUN!</body></html>";
  newDoc.write(txt);
  newDoc.close();
  }
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" value="Write to a new document"
onclick="createNewDoc()">

</body>
</html>
