Disable?

[stevezz87]

I was wondering if it's possible to disable document.write if so does anyone have the code.

[Pleasehelp]

One question why would you need this?

[stevezz87]

Honestly I'm trying to further my knowledge in html/javascript and other types of coding and this was one of the questions I've come across. I normally just look at source codes to teach myself but I can't seem to figure this one out. I love coding and was just wondering if anyone knew how. If you don't thanks anyway.

How do you mean?

Like...

document.write = function(){
    return false;
}

That will stop document.write from writing to the page (Tested in FF), if that's what you ment.

[stevezz87]

So does that code have to go in a style sheet or within a javascript code?

NVM I understand. Thank you so much. Another thing learned. ;D

[Peter]

No problem, feel free to ask as many questions as you like

[stevezz87]

Well, then here comes another one lol. that code you provided above can be used to disable other codes from running as well? just by replacing the words document.write with the other code?

[Peter]

Nope, doesn't work like that. For the example I posted, it will just prevent any text being wrote out to the page for document.write, btu for other functions it may require more coding.

Any reason why you need to disable some functions in javascript?

[stevezz87]

None whatsoever but it can't hurt to learn some more things.

[Peter]

I wouldn't bother then, no use in disabling certain javascript functions. It would only really be you that wouldn't be able to use them, because...

1. If it's a proboard code, members can't use javascript anyway
2. If it's a general code (for a website for example), then only you would be using it.

[stevezz87]

Fair enough. I have one other question and since I have you here right now I guess I'll just ask it here. Do you know what code I need to use to display an swf file on firefox because the code I'm using to display it on IE does not display it on Firefox.

Just enter your values for the bits in bold.

Its still telling me movie not loaded and I know I have the link right because its still working in IE.

[Peter]

Would be better if you posted the url to the page?

[Peter]

Nope, works fine for me, hmm, not sure what the problem could be. Wait to see if someone else responds to see if they can view it or not.
