    Depressable Button Problem!

    Hi there, I'm new to Javascript. Here's my problem: I've made a drepessable button but I want it to display text on the same page each time I press it so I can use the button as many times as I want. If I use document.write it erases the button after the first click. How can I fix this?

    <head>
    <Script language="JavaScript">
    var malename = new Array(
    "Allen","Bob","Gerald")

    var lastname = new Array(
    "Adams","Bowden","Prichard")

    var r = 0;
    var i = 0;
    function RandomName()
    {
    r = Math.floor(Math.random() * lastname.length);
    i = Math.floor(Math.random() * malename.length);
    document.write(malename[i]+" "+lastname[r])
    }
    </head>

    <body>
    <a href="#" onMousedown="document.images['example'].src=img2.src"
    onClick="RandomName()" onMouseup="document.images['example'].src=img1.src">
    <img src="picture.gif" name="example" border=0>
    </body>

    No, use a javascript board because javascript is very different from java.

    (JavaScript != C++) && (Java != JavaScript)
    I am against the teaching of evolution in schools. I am also against widespread
    literacy and the refrigeration of food.
