Hello,

A very easy one...

How do you get a line break using response.write

IE I want to write...

response.write "Hello Turfbult, how are u" .... like this

hello
turfbult
how
are
u

Thanks,
T

Hi turfbult

All you need to do to is include the <BR> tag in your string.

Resposne.write "Hello<br>Turfbult,<br>how<br>are<br>u"

Hope this helps

Thanks Ian,

Isn't there another way though, like "vbnewline" or something. Isn't it "bad practice" to mix asp and html??

Wait... I might not have given a good example...

Lets say I have 5 variables and want to print each one on a new line

like ..

var1
var2
var3

If I just say
response.write var1
response.write var2 etc etc. it prints all variables in one row.

So I'm thinking
response.write var1 & vbnewline
response.write var2 & vbnewline

.....or something like that!!!



Thanks,
T

It's not bad practise at all, There are many cirumstances that you have to mix them together. Hell, asp is just a bolt on to html anyway :)

As for using vbnewline, it won't work. Can't think of any other way, but there is no need to find it :)

Ian

using your example you can trim it down to

<% = Var1 %>
<br>
<% = Var2 %>
<br>
<% = Var3 %>
<br>
<% = Var4 %>
<br>

:)

Thanks, in that case, I'll use it.

BTW. What is the cult for silver service??

T

no worries.

I'ts just a joke mate. Take a look around the chit-chat forum for the "Cult of the rusty spoons" And "the Cult for silver service" :)

Instead of vbnewline, try: vbCrlf

Hi Sail3005

It wont work using vbCrlf Either. If you use that or vbnewline it will just place the code on a new line in the produced output, but without the <br> tags the browser will interpret it as the sam line. Eg.

In HTML

Hello
World

Will show in the browser as Hello World

Wheras

Hello
<br>
World

Will show in the browser as

Hello
World

Just a note, ASP produces HTML. So mixing them together is the same. All ASP does is process the code on the server, then creates HTML to send to the users browser.

Yeah, i agree now. I think the best and possibly only way to accomplish that is with <br>.
