VbCrLf in jscript

[Christopher Brandsdal]

Hi!

Im still working on some <%@ LANGUAGE=JScript %> code

What is the same command as VbCrLf in JScript?
I just want my HTML to jump one line down...
hehe

I know I should know...

There's no macro in JScript like VbCrLf. You can use \n for a newline,
but remember that neither VbCrLf nor \n will cause a linebreak that's
visible in your browser. For that, you need to send the HTML tag <BR>.
Or possibly <P> or <DIV>. Browsers ignore things like extra spaces and
newlines in the HTML they are rendering.

However ASP (VBS and JS) can produce far more than HTML content, where
this can be usefull.

vbs [IE]:

myCrLf = chr(10) & chr(13)
alert("a" & myCrLf & "b")

js:

myCrLf = String.fromCharCode(10, 13);
alert('a' + myCrLf + 'b')

Isn't a true carriage return + line feed represented as \r\n ?

Under jscript/ASP yes:

<%@Language=Jscript%>
<%

myCrLf = "\r\n"
Response.write(myCrLf.length) // 2

Response.write("<br>")

myLf = "\n"
Response.write(myLf.length) // 1

%>

======================

It could depend on the platform/OS used.
Perhaps some applications could use \n as crlf?

That's why I would play for sure, when I don't know the OS:

String.fromCharCode(10, 13)

I know the browser doesn't read the extra space, but that's not what I
needed anyway

Just had to make a line-jump to make my HTML design work perfectly....
