Replacing an html page

I'm not sure how to ask this question, so forgive me if I am less than succinct.
 
I am producing a page, then my program does some work, then I need to replace the page.  The way my current code is working, its just adding the new html to the end of the current document.  How do I replace the page rather than adding to it?
 
Any help appreciated.

The only way to get a browser to replace a currently loaded page is via
javascript.

Research the innerHTML property and/or the DOM.  Using javascript you
can replace entire sections of a page without a complete reload.  You
can also reload a page completely to "replace" it.

     That's not exactly correct you can reload the entire page
     using javascript, refresh meta, or HTTP Refresh header.

Some alternatives are given on the following page:
<http://wp.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html>. Probably the
most interesting is the "Content-type: multipart/x-mixed-replace" method.

You can see this in action by finding a bug at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/>. A page is displayed while the search is
in progress. The page is replaced when the search results are available.

Cheers,

Russell Kliese
