Ioannis, I wouldn't spend a lot of time trying to figure out why document.write() isn't working for you. It's not what you want to use anyway.
What you want to do is manipulate the DOM to update portions of the screen dynamically -- at least it seems that's what you want. You can do this with JavaScript, but it's rather complicated, and given your stated level of experience with JavaScript I would suggest you look to a JavaScript library that is written specifically to make this sort of task easier. My library of choice is jQuery (http://jQuery.com). It's fantastic. It has a very active and loyal community that are willing and able to answer any questions you'd like. I'm coding something like what you're describing right now, and I'm using jQuery to accomplish it. In the past I would have used IE's innerHTML to get the job done, but that only works in IE (at least I don't think it works in FF). (note this snippet is not a working piece of code) ThisRow = ""; ThisRow += "<div class=\"OrderEntryListRow " + RowClass + "\" RowType=\"" + RowClass + "\">\n"; ThisRow += "<span class=\"Date Cell\">" + ThisDate + "</span> \n"; ThisRow += "<span class=\"CostCenter Cell\">" + CostCenterName + "</span> \n"; ThisRow += "<span class=\"ShiftName Cell\">" + ShiftName + "</span> \n"; ThisRow += "<span class=\"Classification Cell\">" + Classification + "</span> \n"; ThisRow += "<span class=\"Quantity Cell\">" + Quantity + "</span>\n"; ThisRow += "</div>"; $("##OrderList").append(ThisRow); You can see that I'm using normal JavaScript to create a string of HTML which is stored as a string in the variable "ThisRow". I then use jQuery to append that string to an element. In this case that element is a div (not shown) with an ID of OrderList. In jQuery, you can match all elements that have a specific ID or class or attribute, etc. The #OrderList tells it to look for an element whose ID is OrderList. I'm using ## because I'm within ColdFusion cfoutput tags, so I need to escape the single #. This is a very simple example, but it does what you're looking to do. jQuery also has ajax capability. In fact, the snippet above is in the middle of an ajax call -- it gets executed upon success of the call. The other good news is that Rob Gonda will soon be releasing an AjaxCFC plug-in for jQuery! Yay! Right now, I've had to change the way I call CFCs in jQuery, but as soon at Rob's plug-in becomes publicly available it will change everything for ColdFusion jQuery users. I've been testing an advanced copy and it's pretty cool stuff. So to sum up: my advice is to check out jQuery. Sign up for the mailing list (discuss@jQuery.com) here <http://jquery.com/discuss/>, and speak up. Folks are more than willing to help new comers. I hope this helps.
