document.write() not working

[techno_race]

In this site, I am trying to create an effect similar to the DHTML Modal Dialog script. I tried using said script, which did not work. I tried writing a heavily-simplified version, which also did not work.

The window is supposed to open when the superscript number under the electric guitar image is clicked.

I eventually concluded that the problem was with the document.write() method; alert() and other JavaScript works fine. I am testing in both Firefox and Chrome.

The script in question:

<script type="text/javascript">
			function opendialog(contents,id) {
				return '<div id="d_'+id+'" style="position: fixed; width: 100%; height: 90%; left: 0; top: 0; background-color: rgb(218,218,218); align: middle; z-index: 1000; display: inline; vertical-align: middle;">'+contents+'</div><div id="cd_'+id+'" style="position: fixed; width: 100%; height: 10%; left: 0; top: 90%; background-color: rgb(218,218,218); align: left; z-index: 1000; display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;"><a href="javascript:closedialog('+id+');">close</a></div>';
			}
			function closedialog(id) {
				document.getElementById("d_"+id).style.z-index = -1000;
				document.getElementById("d_"+id).style.display = "none";
				document.getElementById("d_"+id).id = "oldd_"+id+new Date().getTime();
				document.getElementById("cd_"+id).style.z-index = -1000;
				document.getElementById("cd_"+id).style.display = "none";
				document.getElementById("cd_"+id).id = "oldd_"+id+new Date().getTime();
			}
		</script>

Any ideas?

Try changing:

'javascript:document.write(opendialog(enm[1],"menm1"));'

to:

'javascript: '+opendialog(enm[1],"menm1"));

You don't need a document.write() in there. You can just output it as regular javascript content.
