javascript on osx

[steve]

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the Safari browser.


specifically the following javascript will not print any headings until
after the JS has executed.


<script type = "text/javascript">
document.clear();
document.writeln("<h1>hi there</h1>");
prompt('hello','');
</script>


on safari , the user only sees the user prompt until they press accept.

but on fire fox the heading is rendered then the user sees the input box.


any ideas how to force the safari to render before the prompt.

Steve

Did you try document.close() before the prompt?

<script type="text/javascript">

document.writeln("<h1>hi there</h1>");
setTimeout(function(){prompt('hello','');},10);
</script>

I think there are other issues you probably need to worry about like
why you are doing something this way but the above will probably
answer your question.
