javascriptdocument.write

What are alternatives to document.write?

In tutorials I've learnt to use document.write. Now I understand that by many this is frowned upon. I've tried print(), but then it literally sends it to the printer.

So what are alternatives I should use, and why shouldn't I use document.write? Both w3schools and MDN use document.write.

Solution

  • As a recommended alternative to document.write you could use DOM manipulation to directly query and add node elements to the DOM.
