Syntax

document.writeln(sText)

Parameters

sText

Required. String that specifies the text and HTML tags to write.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

In HTML, the carriage return is ignored unless it occurs within preformatted text.

You should not use the write or writeln methods on the current document after the document has finished loading unless you first call the open method, which clears the current document's window and erases all variables.

Note  When document.write or document.writeln is used in an event handler, document.close should also be used.
