When you are using Document.Write in a DHTML application you receive the
following error:

   Compile error: Function or interface marked as restricted, or the

Change the value of the innerText property of a tag instead of using the
Document.Write.

   <H3 ID=Subhead1></H3>

Replacement code in Page Designer:

   Subhead1.innerText="Heading One"
