[jQuery] JavaScript Text nodes

[Rodney Finn]

Can I permanently post a JavaScript text node to a wabpage?

Script:

window.onload = initAll;
var nodeChangingArea;

function initAll() {
        document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0].onsubmit = function()
{return nodeChanger();}

        nodeChangingArea = document.getElementById("modifiable");
}

function addNode() {
        var inText = document.getElementById("textArea").value;
        var newText = document.createTextNode(inText);

        var newGraf = document.createElement("p");
        newGraf.appendChild(newText);

        nodeChangingArea.appendChild(newGraf);
}

function delNode() {
        var delChoice = document.getElementById("grafCount").selectedIndex;
        var allGrafs = nodeChangingArea.getElementsByTagName("p");
        var killGraf = allGrafs.item(delChoice);

        nodeChangingArea.removeChild(killGraf);
}

function insertNode() {
        var inChoice = document.getElementById("grafCount").selectedIndex;
        var inText = document.getElementById("textArea").value;

        var newText = document.createTextNode(inText);
        var newGraf = document.createElement("p");
        newGraf.appendChild(newText);

        var allGrafs = nodeChangingArea.getElementsByTagName("p");
        var oldGraf = allGrafs.item(inChoice);

        nodeChangingArea.insertBefore(newGraf,oldGraf);
}

function replaceNode() {
        var inChoice = document.getElementById("grafCount").selectedIndex;
        var inText = document.getElementById("textArea").value;

        var newText = document.createTextNode(inText);
        var newGraf = document.createElement("p");
        newGraf.appendChild(newText);

        var allGrafs = nodeChangingArea.getElementsByTagName("p");
        var oldGraf = allGrafs.item(inChoice);

        nodeChangingArea.replaceChild(newGraf,oldGraf);
}

function nodeChanger()  {
        var actionType = -1;
        var currentPgraphCount =
nodeChangingArea.getElementsByTagName("p").length;
        var radioButtonSet = document.getElementsByTagName("form")
[0].nodeAction;

        for (var i=0; i<radioButtonSet.length; i++) {
                if (radioButtonSet[i].checked) {
                        actionType = i;
                }
        }

        switch(actionType) {
                case 0:
                        addNode();
                        break;
                case 1:
                        if (currentPgraphCount > 0) {
                                delNode();
                                break;
                        }
                case 2:
                        if (currentPgraphCount > 0) {
                                insertNode();
                                break;
                        }
                case 3:
                        if (currentPgraphCount > 0) {
                                replaceNode();
                                break
                        }
                default:
                        alert("No valid action was chosen");
        }

        document.getElementById("grafCount").options.length = 0;

        for (i=0; i<nodeChangingArea.getElementsByTagName("p").length; i++) {
                document.getElementById("grafCount").options[i] = new 
Option(i+1);
        }

        return false;
}

End Script

And if so, how?
Thanks!
