How to put HTML code in JavaScript if() statement

Question

I've looked all over the web for an answer to this, and all I can really find directed to my actual question is 'ajax' and I'm already using it, but that don't say what in it to use!

Here's my problem: I have HTML code(specifically a table with a form inside of it, but that doesn't matter), and I need the code to depend on a JavaScript variable grabbed from a cookie.

In the beginning of the form, naturally, I'd put my declarations for when the page loads:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var login = 0;
    var myusername;
    var saves = [];
    $(document).ready(function() {
        if (jQuery.cookie('savedata')) {
            savedstats = jQuery.cookie('savedata').split('|');
            login = parseInt(savedstats[0]);
            myusername = parseInt(savedstats[1);
        } else {
            login = 0;
        }
    });
</script>

And I've tried many different ways, but.. No avail.

Where do you have the HTML code? How should it depend on the cookie? Why do you think this should be done with JS? — Bergi

Do you want to insert the username into the page? Something like $('.username').html(myusername) and the HTML would be <span class="username"></span> — Josh

I don't understand what you are asking. Please make your question more clear. — Vlad Nicula

<script type="text/javascript">
    var login = 0;
    if (login == 0){
        document.write('<li><a title="home"....</li>');
    }else{
        document.write('<li>Not valid</li>');
</script>

Is that what you want?

PS, this is a very very bad design
