This is fine: Code: <script> document.write("Hello and welcome to javascript!"); </script> But when I try to put a message on two lines, it does not work. The book I'm reading and several websites have stated the below codes will work, but neither do: Code: <script> document.write("Hello and welcome to javascript! \n"); document.write("It is a tricky language to learn!") </script> Code: <script> document.writeln("Hello and welcome to javascript!"); document.writeln("It is a tricky language to learn!") </script> Am I missing something?

Hi, I'm creating a new email in javascript via outlook. When i try entering a line break "\n", "\r", "\r\r", etc, Outlook just ignores it completely. I've tried using "%0D%0A" and "fromCharCode(10)" as well but it doesnt seem to read it as a line break. Is there any way to code it so that a line break or a carriage return appears on outlook? Hey guys. I'm working on a "Preview Post" function. When the Preview Post button is clicked, it should reload the page, show the preview above the textarea, then send the text back to the textarea so the user can keep working. It works until I move to a second line. If there are line breaks they don't get shown in the preview. Also, the text isn't sent back to the textarea. I have a pair of functions that are supposed to handle the input string. The first function records the input when typing, and the second function picks up the post to print as a preview: You can see what I mean he Code: function preview() { var preview = window.document.postform.inputpost.value; window.document.hidden.inputpreview.value = preview; } function copypreview() { var copypreview = '<?php echo $_POST[inputpreview]; ?>'; window.document.postform.inputpost.value = copypreview; } Here's how I use them: Code: <body onload='copypreview();'> <?php include("navbar.php"); ?> <?php if ($_GET[preview]) { echo "<table id=blog><tr><td>"; echo $_POST[inputpreview]; echo "</td></tr></table>"; } ?> <form name="postform" action="submitpost.php" method="post"> Post Title <input size="40" type="text" name="inputtitle" id="inputtitle"> <?php include("tagbar.php"); ?> <textarea onchange="preview();" cols="101" rows="20" id="inputpost" name="inputpost"></textarea> <div align=center> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> <form name="hidden" method="post" action="addpost.php?preview=1"> <input type="hidden" name="inputpreview"> <input type="submit" onClick="preview();" value="Preview Post"/> </form> Sorry I know it's a lot of code. I tried to make it as readable as possible. Can someone tell me how to fix this? I thought I might have to find a way to insert <br> tags when the user hits the Enter key, but I could have sworn this thing was working with line breaks before. Is there any way to have a multiline text string in javascript? For example strname="line one of string line two of string"; I get an error that the string is not terminated. The reason I want to do this is from the following code: Code: <textarea name="comments" id="comments" cols="90" rows="8" ></textarea> <?php if (isset($_REQUEST["registered"])) { $end_of_line=chr(10); $carriage_return=chr(13); $step1=str_replace($carriage_return,"",$comments); $step2=str_replace($end_of_line,"<br>",$step1); echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n"; echo "intermediate='",$step2,"';\n"; echo "comment_value=",'intermediate.replace(/<br>/g,"\n")',";\n"; echo "document.getElementById('comments').value=comment_value;</script>\n"; }?> I an getting the value to set a textarea to from the server. It may have newline characters. If there is a way to have a multiline string, then I could skip all the steps and just echo one javascriopt command. Can this be done? CraigRS Hi, I'm trying to do an assignment, and have copied a piece of code to learn while I do, if you see what I mean. Problem is, I'm having real trouble with one of the lines of code. If someone could tell me basically what it does, I'd be very greatful! Here's the code: if (height[i] == -(array[i].height)) The - before (array[i].height) is really confusing me! Thanks in advance!
