Alert box failure

[micahl0180]

I am trying to get an alert box with line breaks in it. I want to display a
couple pieces of information, and want them broken up. I tried using \n to
get a new line, but kept getting errors in my code. Any suggections?

Thanks in advance,

ML

alert("The combination you have selected: " + \n + "Background Color: " +
color1 + \n + "Text Color: " + color2)

Of course color1 and color2 have been declared and defined, so I know there
isn't an error there. Any suggections would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks again.

I am trying to get an alert box with line breaks in it.

The \n should go _inside_ the quotes.

alert("The combination you have selected: " + \n + "Background Color: " +
color1 + \n + "Text Color: " + color2)

alert("The combination you have selected: \nBackground Color: " + color1 +
"\nText Color: " + color2)

The idea is right, but the syntax is wrong. Put the \n character inside the
quotes as part of the string.

alert("The combination you have selected: \nBackground Color: " + color1 +
"\nText Color: " + color2)
