JavaScript write() method

[Tux_in_Redhat]

I am tring to write a function for creating a table with two collumns in it. For one row I have the following code:

//tR takes two strings and places them on the same row
function tR(var str1, var str2){
  with (document){
    write("<tr><td valign = top>" + str1);
    write("</td><td valign = top>" + str2);
    write("</td></tr>");
  }
}

I placed that inside the file src.js. At the same time I had an HTML file with the code

<script src = "src.js" language = "JavaScript">
  tR("Column 1", "Column 2");
</script>

However, nothing shows up. I've had trouble with the with-document-write thing before, and it's about time I got it resolved.

document.write

I did that, two. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I say "write" or "document.write". Javascript assumes that "document" is before "write". And that's right.

Anybody have any suggestions?
I've even tried this with the tR() in the same file.

First of all, the parameter list shouldn't have "var" in it, so it should look like this:

function tR(str1, str2){

Second, the function call can't be in the same SCRIPT element that refers to src.js, since it would be ignored then.

In order to make the HTML valid there should also be a type="text/javascript" attribute in the SCRIPT start tags, and it's probably more correct to use DOM manipulation instead of document.write, but the above two changes seem sufficient to make it show up in Firefox and Opera, at least.
