Document open() Method
 Document Object
Definition and Usage
The open() method opens an output stream to collect the output from any
document.write() or
document.writeln() methods.
Once all the writes are performed, the
document.close() method causes any output written to the output stream to be
displayed.
Note: If a document already exists in the target, it will be cleared. If this method has no arguments, a new window
(about:blank) is displayed.
