Well - document.write certainly does work, so you must be doing something wrong.
Unfortunately, with less than no detail whatsoever in your post, it's going to be pretty hard to give you any help.
What code do you have? What steps have you taken to debug the problem? What browser(s) do you have the issue in?
Come on - help us to help you and give us something to work with. Saying simply "document.write doesn't work" is clearly unhelpful and incorrect - it's just not working for you with your code.

well... in both IE and FF document.write("test"); and var myvar = "test"; document.write(test); simply doesn't write. I'm not picking up errors, it just isn't working. I do have javascript enabled aswell.

Well - let's make sure you really do have JavaScript enabled, and that it's nothing else on your page that is affectiing the code... because as I've said - document.write does work.
Save this snippet as an HTML file and load it:
In both IE and Firefox, I see the initial alert, and then I see the text being written followed by the final alert.
What do you see?
If you see neither the alerts or the text, then you've either got JS disabled, or you've got some third party software blocking scripts (some internet security suite, etc), or you've got serious problems with your browser installations, and should look at re-installing them.
If it does work for you, then it points to problems with your existing code - which you've not shown us fully (unless the example you pasted earlier was missing all the structural markup of an HTML file).
Hope this helps,
Dan

BRPS's reply reminded me that Windows XP will block scripts on web pages that are run locally, and I haven't found a way yet to allow them automatically. Typically there's a warning message somewhere in the browser window that the script has been blocked, and you have to go through a couple steps to allow scripts to run on that page.

It's not XP that does it - it's IE, I'd say. The examples should still run first time in Firefox with no problems...

I'm not always right... It's just that I only know I'm wrong when people point it out ;-)

cryoburned,
Did that script run for you? Did you resolve your problem?
