Javascript error : help

[Yahya Elyasse]

Hi,
in a jsp page I have an automatically html generated string :

    
String html="<!-- ======================================================== -->
<!-- = Java Sourcecode to HTML automatically converted code = -->
<!-- =   Java2Html Converter 5.0 [2006-02-26] by Markus Gebhard  [e-mail]   = -->
<!-- =     Further information: <a href="http://www.java2html.de" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.java2html.de</a>     = -->
<div align="left" class="java">
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#e6e6e6">
   <tr>
  <!-- start source code -->
   <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" align="left">
    <code>
<font color="#e6e6e6"><b> </b></font><font color="#000000">??? d;   </font><font color="#3f7f5f">// [1]</font></code>
   
   </td>
  <!-- end source code -->
   </tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- =       END of automatically generated HTML code       = -->
<!-- ======================================================== -->";

i need to call it from javascript method like this :

    
 
 function f(){
   alert('<%=html%>');
}

this doesn't work and i ot error: string not terminated.

actually this html String is generated automatically from a method i'm calling to return the above html string .
i've tried replacing all double qotes " in html by a single quote ' ; but this still generates a javascript error ( expected ']' ).

i tried using double quotes in javasript function like this :

    
 
alert ("<%=html%>");

and it now gives an error : expected ']' and not error : string not terminated.

I'm puzzeled what could be the problem ! I scanned the above html string and i didn't found any character that might confuse the browser.

can you help please ?

many thanks.

You need to use single quotes since the string contains " all over.
You probably have to replace all of the line feeds on the server side.

What does

alert ("<%=html%>");

Look like when the page is rendered?

Okay guys i figuered out how to solve the problem ...

the trick was to replace all '\n' and '\r' with ""
i was replacing '\n' but i forgot to do so for '\r'
when i removed those two chars it worked fine

thank you for your time and support.
