Re: have problems with div's

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

<script type="text/javascript">
//here begins javascript written by a non-javascripter
//consider it poorly written pseudo-code
if div bAvocado content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bAvocado'>" + AvocadoContent + "</" + "div>")
}
if div bButterSquash content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bButterSquash'>" + ButterSquashContent + "</" +
"div>")
}
if div bCauliflower content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bCauliflower'>" + CauliflowerContent + "</" +
"div>")
}
if div bCornOnCob content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bCornOnCob'>" + CornOnCobContent + "</" + "div>")
}
if div bCucumber content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bCucumber'>" + CucumberContent + "</" + "div>")
}
if div bGarlic content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bGarlic'>" + GarlicContent + "</" + "div>")
}
if div bGrapefruit content != "" {
document.write("<div id='bGrapefruit'>" + GrapefruitContent + "</" + "div>")
}
</script>


??

the above did not work. i do not understand how the script can be written
correctly, it would only run once as it is witin a HTML file. or have i got
to create a .js file and have a call to it to keep executing it.

just a thought. is there a way to get lets say iframe (id "I1") to
document.write(....) to id "table6"
where the document.write(...) lines are in the iframe id I1 but it
prints to id "table6"
html file below to show what i mean by this.

yes the tables are empty, just wanted to show the table layout, so you know
what i mean by from one table to another.

thank you.
