[TriLUG] javascript syntax

[Dave Sorenson]

Try using this to generate your new line: "&#10" It is the ASCII value for a
new line, or line feed so it should generate the proper character. Let me
know if this works, my brain is still Monday Morning Fuzzy.

i'm not in bed with javascript and would be happy to try java applet if
anyone has some sample code they want to send my way.  seems like a carriage
return line feed is simple enough of a feature.  too bad it doesn't work.
why javascript parses the text strings correctly with \" 
and not with \n, i'll never know.  the whole script has html tags around it.
it is the stuff in the middle with the text that is a royal booger.
