- by machaa
Hi,
I've a Java String with new lines(\n), say for example
String value = "This is a variable\n\nfrom\nJava";
Now I've to set this to a Javascript variable in a JSP file,
<script>var val = '<%= value %>';</script>
But because of the new lines in the above line, I'm getting javascript error "Unterminated String".
Please help me.
