Javascript and document.write

I want to use a document.write command in javascript to write a line at the very beginning of the html file in which it is writing. I know how to use document.write(""); but I don't know how to tell the javascript to go to the very beginning of the html file. Can someone help me with this?

body.innerHTML = "hi there" + body.innerHTML;

should do the trick

I mean at the absolute beginning of the file, not the body. Before all the headers and everything. Line numero uno.

I have to put this line at the beginning of the html file by using javascript, can it be done?

html.innerHTML = "hi there" + html.innerHTML;

"should" work, but I'm not really sure.

no dice. I'm curious about this...is there a way to change the doctype in javascript...

no. but you can start a new document and write in everything plus the new doctype.

well, I guess that solves that

I'll have to change the doctype manually then. I was asking because the website software that we use for yahoo doesn't set doctypes, which can cause some problems, and if you change the files out of the program and open them back up it deletes any changes to the beginning of the file so all doctypes are removed...

Oh well, guess that means anytime we update I'll have to change the doctype. Hopefully we won't have to update alot.

erm surely

<script>
document.write("");
</script>
<!doctype....

If that doesn't work and you need a solution i will be more than happy to create one for you

and how is that supposed to work?

Try it and find out

ok. it doesn't work and i need a solution.

Just wondering, why do you need to put it there using JS ?

Is is using an IF statement or ?
