Running Html within Javascript

ok here's what I want to do.

<script.....Java script...>

if x=1
{
<div class="tools">
<ul>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/tools.jpg" alt="tools" /></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.doink.biz/mail">E-mail</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner">Planner</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=contacts">Contacts</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=todo">To-do list</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=addnote">Notepad</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/textpattern/index.php">Admin</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
}
else
{
}
</script>

Basically i want to run an html code if a condition is met. When I tried doing this it didn't work (probably because I'm running the html within JS tags.

Do I need to insert something special to indicate that the following code is html...?

Thanks.

 

<script language="javascript">
<!-- 
if (1 == 2)
{
     document.write('hell has frozen over');
}
else
{
     document.write('Hello world ...');
}
// -->
</script>

HTML:

i.e. you need to use the document.write() function to generate html output

 

document.write(<div class="tools">
<ul>
<li><a href="#"><img src="images/tools.jpg" alt="tools" /></a>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.doink.biz/mail">E-mail</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner">Planner</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=contacts">Contacts</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=todo">To-do list</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/forum/index.php?&amp;act=Planner&amp;code=addnote">Notepad</a></li>
<li><a href="http://doink.biz/textpattern/index.php">Admin</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>);

is that how you do it? (I also did it with single quotes (as in your example)) didn't work for me for some reason. am I missing something?

 

If you want to do javascript, get a quick javascript reference guide.

if you want to output multiple lines do this

<script language=javascript>
document.write('line1'+
   'line2'+
   'line3');
</script>

HTML:

(all single quote, +-es and ; are needed)

 

Worked perfectly thanks so much!
I definitely appreciate it.
