Even if you document.write() after the html loaded, it will overwrite it, because it write text directly in the Document object, which contains html ^^ For update you document content without "takes you to another screen" ( clear the content ), you may avoid document.write() use, and use the innerHTML property of html's elements...

you write the document before the html load, so it overwrites the content
