A better way to deal with Javascript is to include a link to a file
with your
code in a seperate file. You include something like this in the header
section of
the HTML file.
<script language="Javascript1.2" src="/default.js" type="text/javascript">
Cuts down the amount of time that your script has to spend issue print
statements and
seperates out the Javascript from the rest of your code.
