^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ack!
why not just generate the iframe dynamically, then append it to your page when
you're ready? Have a div or something already in place (and styled
appropriately) and use appendChild to add it.
I guess basically what I"m saying is something like this (requires builder.js
from scriptaculous, but is fairly trivial with normal DOM functions, I'm just
lazy):
var iframe = Builder.node('iframe', {'class':'advertisement',
'src':'someurl'});
Event.observe(iframe, 'load', function(ev) {
$('leftadframe').appendChild(this);
}.bindAsEventListener(iframe));
much prettier, and without any nasty document.write garbage :)
note that here I'm assuming an iframe has an onload event, and that it fires
when the content has been loaded into it :) I'm not really sure, but that
should give you some ideas.
document.write should die a slow, horrible, painful death. Please avoid using
it at all costs.
