Javascript: document.write to add external content?

Question

Page a.com loads a javascript file from b.com like this:

<script src="http://b.com/file.js"></script>

b.com/file.js adds some content to a.com.

The file.js is like this:

document.write("<script ... <link rel=\"stylesheet\" ... <div> ... <form> ...");

But I know document.write is not good. But what are the alternatives? I don't think it's "ok" to add complete html code inside document.write ... or not?

So should I add this <script src="http://b.com/file.js"></script> inside a div? I am not sure if I understand it. — yoshi

There is nothing "not good" about using document.write here, especially when you want to add in some <script> to the page. If you are just using it to add DOM elements, you can consider using some DOM manipulation methods.
