Yes that will definitely slow you down. Whenever I write large chunks of code to a document, I write it all to a variable first then just write the string to the document, using the write method just once.

example (mypage is the page I'm writing to):

var str = ""
str += "code here etc....
str += "continue till done....

then
mypage.document.open();
mypage.document.write(str);
mypage.document.close();

That will make a world of difference compared to continually calling the document.write method.
hope that hels

i agree

boywonder is right!

It is indeed better to put your code into a variable.
Moreover it is clearer to check if you want to change something in the code.

use that way.

using document.write() to do your whole page, whether you use a variable or not, will be slower than plain html. probably, noticeably slower.
