I have a small code. It does not print the word "hi". Why?

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function listnum() {
i=0
do {
document.write( i + "<br>")
i++
} while(i<10)
}</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onload=listnum()>
hi
</BODY>

Thank you.

Thank you.

Because you cannot do a document.write on a page without destroying the
page that was there before.

NOT quite true! Try this:
<html>
<head><script language="JavaScript">
function listnum() {
i=0
do {
document.write( i + "<br>")
i++
} while(i<10)
}</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>hi </p>
<script language="JavaScript">
listnum()
</script>
<p>AND hi AGAIN....</p>
</body>
</html>

Correct. The quite true version is:

Because you cannot do a document.write on a page that has finished
loading, without destroying the page that was there before.

I should have said:

"on a page that is finished"
