Insert a carriage return in a JavaScript string

[yellowtek]

Hi,

I've got some JavaScript inserted within a PHP echo instruction:
<?php>
echo " ... javascript ...."
<?>

This context may be important, I don't know...


At some point within the JavaScript, I want to add a carriage return at
the end of a field value:
str = str + '\n';

but this writting does not work, because the Javascript produced in the
html page gives:
str = str + '
'
How to do this?

Thanks.

Herve.

FYI:
str +' "\n"
is the same as
str = str + '\n';

Depending on your usage you may have to "escape"
the backslash; for example \\n.

However, "<br>" may be applicable instead.

What causes the "Javascript produced in the html page"?

Show us your code...

The javascript "produced" is what you get in the browser as a source
code when the PHP page is executed, that is:
echo "... javascript.....";

And the reason of the insertion of JavaScript within this PHP echo is
the share of PHP constants:
<?php>
include ("inc/constants.inc.php");
echo "
str = str + '".A_CONSTANT."';
";
<?>

I will try the double \; that might be the solution.
Thanks.
