deprecated code example in dodumentation

[dan]

In the page
​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/i18n/

There is an example that use the deprecate/not working document.write function.

document.write(gettext('this is to be translated'));

please replace with the current dom standard

tnode = document.createTextNode(gettext('this is to be translated'));
[code to insert the tnode using dom...]

The docs aren't showing an example of JavaScript; they're describing the gettext function that Django's providing.

Whoops -- the above was actually me! Looks like Malcolm was using my browser and I forgot to log out. I assure you I'm not trying to steal his identity :)

Sorry but I don't understand.
Why you have to use a wrong javascript snippet for showing the correct way to use the gettext function?
Isn't better to show the correct javascript with the correct function?

[durdinator]

Because the extra code you're suggesting distracts from the gettext() call, which is what the example is meant to be showing.
