There are a number of methods. You can write whole document, etc., but I think most flexible method is modification of properties of existing elements.

Here is the idea: you get some element by its Id and then assign some string to its property innerHtml.

For example:

HTML

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Writing HTML by JavaScript</title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <script type="text/javascript"><!--
            function writeHtml() {
                var div = document.getElementById("placeholder");
                div.innerHTML = "<h2>This is <i><big>generated</big></i> code!</h2>";
            }
        --></script>
    </head>
<body>

<button onClick="writeHtml();">Try it!</button>
<div id="placeholder" />

</body>
</html>
