carriage return line feed

How do I do this in JS?
I tried something like

var Test = "line1" + "\n" + "line2"; 

but it just put an unprintable char symbol.

You should post your JavaScript and the context in which it is being used, because there's nothing wrong with the line you have.

How about:

var Test
Test = "line1" + "\n" + "line2";

OR

var Test
Test = "line1 <BR> line2";



?

Well, I am using it with the MSScriptControl. The output text is not HTML. I am just sending it to a textbox object.

'add the tester object
frmMain.objScript.AddObject "objTester", objTesterScript, True
 
'objScriptContains a textbox object.

Now if I use VBScript like this

objTester.Description = "line1" & vbcrlf & "line2"

then both lines show up in the textbox.

However if I use JavaScript like this

objTester.Description = "line1" + "\n" + "line2"; 

then all text appears on one line with an unprintable char between them.

\n is the LF portion of CRLF. Try \r\n

That did the trick. Thanks a lot : )
