  Passing linefeeds in string variable generating JavaScript

  Aug 01, 2003 05:56 AM|LINK

  I'm having my application generate JavaScript and place it within a

  <script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">

  and

  </script>

  group, and want to have linefeeds in the JavaScript. When I do something like:

  MenuScript = MenuScript & vblf & " stm_ep();" & vblf & " stm_em();" & vblf & " //-->"

  I get JavaScript errors. Seems like JavaScript doesn't like the linefeed characters provided in the string by a VbLf. However, if I view my rendered source, it looks fine and the linefeed is working. Can I pass a line feed in my JavaScript string another way? Do I need to start a new line after the last ";" of a line of JavaScript? Thanks for the assist.

  1. no, you can get away without linefeeds in JS if you are careful 2. i can never remember those vb constants, i think the names are ridiculous, there is something like vbcrlf that gives both carriage return and linefeed -- i just use Chr(13) & Chr(10) instead
