Line Continuation

[gnikr]

I'm new to Javascript and was wondering if there is any way for javascript to do a line continuation like the exaple below.

document.write("This is some text
and here is some more");

Thanks for the response but it didn't seem to work. Nothing prints out when there are multi-line strings. I forgot to mention that the problem I'm having is with Netscape 7.0.

I have attached my code.

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if (nBoth == "Netscape 5.0") {
document.write ( nBoth && " Doesn't Work On This Page \n
<br>Line 2");
}else{}
</script>

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if (nBoth == "Netscape 5.0") {
document.write ( nBoth && " Doesn't Work On This Page \n
<br>Line 2");
}else{}
</script>
First of all, this script in itself wont don't do anything.

1. Did you define nBoth earlier? If not, it's not going to do antying like this.

2. nBoth && "text... should be nBoth += "text... (assuming that you defined nBoth earlier)

Second, this is how you do a line break

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("This is some text<br/>and here is some more");
</script>

The following also works -


document.write("This is some text" ,
" and here is some more");

I'm not asking the question correctly as well as not coding correctly, so I'll start over.

Line 1. nName = navigator.appName;
Line 2. nVer = navigator.appVersion;
Line 3. nVer = nVer.substring(0,3);
Line 4. nBoth = nName.concat(" ",nVer);

Line 5. <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
Line 6. if (nBoth == "Netscape 5.0") {
Line 7. document.write ( nBoth && " Doesn't Work On This Page,
Line 8. Code on Line 2,
Line 9. Code on Line3.");
Line 10. }else{}
Line 11. </script>

How do you continue a line in JS with document.write? I would like the above example to print out: "Netscape 5.0 Doesn't Work On This Page, Code on Line 2, Code on Line3" I'm not worried about HTML line breaks only carrage returns in the actual code.

Dan, thanks for your reply it worked perfectly.
