How do I make document.write() write over everything else?

I want to use it in my Infinity Shop code bit

Maybe removing all elements from the body before running document.write will achieve what you want. Here is a snippet that will remove all children from body: while (var x = document.querySelector('body > *')) { x.parentElement.removeChild(x); } If that isn't what you want, consider writing into an element that overlaps all content on your page. The following example doesn't use document.write but it should make a new element that overlaps everything on the page: let e = document.createElement('div'); e.style.position = 'fixed'; e.style.top = '0'; e.style.left = '0'; e.style.width = '100vw'; e.style.height = '100vh'; e.style.zIndex = '1000'; e.style.backgroundColor = 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)'; e.style.textAlign = 'center'; e.style.fontSize = '60px'; e.innerHTML = 'This will overlap everything.'; document.querySelector('body').appendChild(e); If you have control over some HTML, try adding this to create a blank element: <div style="position:fixed;top:0;left:0;width:100vw;height:100vh;z-index:1000;background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.8);text-align:center;font-size:60px"> </div> I experimented with putting a script in there to do document.write but the text didn't become part of the div's innerHTML.

You may be mentioned in VXGEJF: The Game because I'll try using the first code to fix a problem.
