open

The open() methods opens a document stream for writing.

Syntax
document.open()
 
Parameters

None.

Example
// In this example, the document contents are // overwritten as the document // is reinitialized on open(). document.write("<html><p>remove me</p></html>"); document.open(); // document is empty.
Notes

If a document exists in the target, this method clears it (see the example above). Also, an automatic document.open() is executed if document.write() is called after the page has loaded.
