When I try to use a statement like document.write() with object tag parameters in Javascript part of a webpage, Mozilla Firefox seems to put extra marginal spaces on the edges of the page while other browsers behave normally. What is the reason of this difference? How can I get rid of these marginal spaces?

Note: (I'm trying to load an applet in a web application.)

  • document.write(" tag in the body of the document there is no problem, but we have to it in javascript. – Juvanis Dec 24 '10 at 14:55
  • ok, try to include your code in a div with this code: document.getElementById('divId').innerHTML = '....'; this code include the objet in a div and not in the end of the document. – Kiva Dec 24 '10 at 14:59

I think the real answer here is "don't use document.write" :-) See this related SO post for why: Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?

So what should you do if not document.write? Well, ideally JQuery (it's all but a requirement for writing JS nowadays IMHO). With jQUery your problem is as simple as:

$(document.body).append(
  "<object><embed type = 'application/x-java-applet;version=1.5' \ CODE = ...");

If you don't want to use jQuery (not-so-subliminal message: use jQuery!) you can also use either innerHTML (as Kiva suggested), or document.createElement + document.body.appendChild to add the element to the page.

I suspect if you use any of these techniques, instead of document.write, you'll see similar behavior to just having the element there in the HTML in the first place.

Maybe the problem in the CSS. May be about to fix this situation:

html, body{margin: 0; padding: 0;}
