Hi Daniel,

thanks for your tips concerning concatening strings before writing.
But this method is not applicable for the algorithm in question. The
whole <script></script> is already written in one chunk.
Combining multiple <script>-tags is not only not possible in our case,
it is also pretty dangerous because Netscape 4's behaviour would be
unpredictable.

And there are other document.write bugs, especially in Ns4. Just
search on groups.google.com and you'll find an endless list of error
reports. Just one example:

You didn't understand me. I meant the need to use function literals
within evals because eval("function myFunction () {}") wouldn't affect
the global namespace. The only way to define global functions in an
eval statement is - as Michael pointed out - to assign a function
literal, e.g. eval("window.myFunction = function () {}"). 

Anyway, due to memory leaks and some other bugs in different browsers
eval is not an alternative.

Cheers,
  Stephan
