There is only one real JavaScript statement here -- namely
document.writeln("textstring");
This outputs into current page the text in quotes followed by a newline
And note the rather peculiar way we "hide" JavaScript from browsers that can't understand it by enclosing in convential HTML Comment syntax
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" >
<!-- A Conventional comment to hide JavaScript from old browsers
...... Bunch of JavaScript Statements .......
//scriptend-->
</SCRIPT>
Note depending on your needs, JavaScript can be in Header or Body section of document
