It's late (well, early) so if I missed something in your example code and
get this answer wrong, my apologies. <grin>

I'm wondering if just using the escape character thingie would work?

         document.writeln("document.writeln(\"alert(\"hi there.\");\");");

I ran into the same problem that you described, a while ago, but I can't
remember what it was that I used to get around it. I may have just changed
the way I was trying to do the job. But, the little back slash thing comes
in handy.  :)

I hope that helps....
