document.write vs document.writeln

[y2k1981]

can somebody explain to me what's the difference between

document.write

and

document.writeln

?????

hi y2k1981,

writeln writes a newline at the end. this is generally more useful when writing to textareas rather than html.

if (!succeed) try();

so would the following both be the same?

document.write("Hello\n");
document.writeln("Hello");

?

 

[jemminger]

yes =========================================================
if (!succeed) try();
-jeff

For all intents and purposed, yes, they're the same.
