Place document.write string in element

Question

Im using

document.write("Your IP is :", userip)

To output IP that I targets for a specific use - I need to hide this string in the dom. I tried this and It shows in a span in the dom but not fully working:

document.write("<span>\Your IP is :\, userip</span>");

If I tried to add a class to it it didn't work at all.

How Do I hide it, but keeping it in the DOM?

`document.write("\Your IP is :\," + userip + "");` is what you need because the userip would otherwise be a string. — Kevin Kloet, Nov 17 '16 at 12:43
I'm curious as to why you want to give the user some information while not showing the user that information; and what do you mean that it is "*not fully working*"? — David Thomas, Nov 17 '16 at 12:43

You could do this as follows:

document.write('<span style="display:none">Your IP is :' + userip + '</span>');

But consider not using document.write at all, and using DOM methods to insert content once the document is loaded.
