String into html with Javascript

Howdy,

I've recently written some Javascript code to see who's logged in on my website. In the script I create a list of names of the people who are online and store them in a string.

Does anyone know how I could get that string into <p></p> tags on my webpage.

I'm not sure about the return statement required to retreive the string, do I need to use print or echo in php (with the js inside the echo).. Help!

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
        function onlineMembers(){
               
                var usersOnline = new Array(7);
                var users = new Array(7);
                online = "";
               
                usersOnline[0] = "jenny";
                usersOnline[1] = "whitey99";
                usersOnline[2] = "chett";
                usersOnline[3] = "lean";
                usersOnline[4] = "pipil";
                usersOnline[5] = "sam";
                usersOnline[6] = "james";
               
                users [0] = "Jenny";
                users [1] = "Whitey99";
                users [2] = "Chett";
                users [3] = "Lean";
                users [4] = "Pipil";
                users [5] = "Sam";
                users [6] = "James";
               
                if(document.cookie.length > 0){  // if there are any cookies
                        for(i=0; i<7; i++){
                                search = usersOnline[i] + "=";
                                offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search);
                                if(offset != -1){  // if cookie exists
                                        online = online + "» " + users[i] + "\n\n";  // Second array for capitals
                                }
                        }
                }
                else{
                        online = "Geen leden online";  // When no members online
                }
                return online;
        }
</script>
