Hello in JavaScript

Can anyone give me a "Hello Earth!" in JS?

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">



  document.write("Hello Earth!");

  alert("Hello Mars!");

  document.getElementById('helloDiv').innerHTML = "Hello Pluto!";



</script>



<br>



<div id="helloDiv"></div>

Remember that document.write doesn't work in XHTML though - don't ask me why.

Thanks EdSalamander!
Now let's bring in a little of Peter Schilling's Major Tom song!

Oooh... just noticed an error. Not an important one, but an error all the same. In the type attribute (not the language attribute) of the <script> tag, "JavaScript" should be in lowercase.

Easy fix is...

document.write = function(str) { document.outerHTML += str; }

Btw the language attribute of script is deprecated, to keep up with standards use...

<script type="text/Javascript">

    //<![CDATA[

        /* .. your code here .. */

    //]]>

</script>
