Using JavaScript `document.write` for Dynamic HTML Content

Project Overview

In this exercise, we use JavaScript's document.write method to dynamically create a list in HTML. This approach allows you to inject content directly into the page as it loads.

To illustrate how JavaScript can generate HTML content on the fly, we’ve replicated the financial planning tips list below:

Explanation

This section explains the rationale behind the use of document.write, how the HTML structure supports the JavaScript functionality, and the detailed implementation of the JavaScript code.

HTML Structure  doc-write

The HTML structure provides the scaffolding for the content generated by JavaScript. The page includes multiple sections with descriptive headers and placeholders for dynamic content. The <script> tag is embedded within the body to execute JavaScript code as the page loads. This ensures the generated content appears seamlessly within the desired section.

JavaScript Code Explanation  doc-write

The JavaScript code utilizes the document.write method to create and append an ordered list dynamically. Each document.write statement outputs a specific list item, which is wrapped in the appropriate HTML tags. By encapsulating the list within <ol> tags, the script ensures the content is properly formatted as an ordered list. While effective for simple demonstrations, this approach is generally discouraged in modern web development due to its limitations and potential risks, such as overwriting existing content.
