enter key creats problem on JSP

[suchit pandya]

Hi,

i am facing problem with enter key . I have an image and i call a finction on onclick event. In this function a value prviously stored in database is being passed as argument(value is text content).
but when i get enter key in text content it gives unterminated string constant.

<img src="/IWAS/FMS/images/vwicn116.gif" onclick="showComments('<%=(hm.get("WSR_ATTR1_VAL")==null?"":hm.get("WSR_ATTR1_VAL"))%>');">

Thanks in advance

Post the HTML that gets generated by that JSP snippet. My guess would be that the value of WSR_ATTR1_VAL contains unescaped single or double quotes.

<td  width="5%" align="center" class='label3'>
          
          <img src="/IWAS/FMS/images/vwicn116.gif" onclick="showComments('no comments
ff');"> 

it is coming like this in view source.
because on \n "ff"goes in new line.

can we decode encode \n by any escape character or any there way??

Thanks for posting i solved it.

by replacing \r\n of the string by /r and then re replace /r by \r\n in called function.

I suggest a different way would be to convert:

\r\n to \\r\\n

which will make the output:
<td width="5%" align="center" class='label3'>

<img src="/IWAS/FMS/images/vwicn116.gif" onclick="showComments('no comments\r\nff');">

I wonder if \r makes sense in js though...
