cancatinating new line in javascript

i am tring to concatinating values with a new line in javascript? but somehow it's not working.

for (n = 0; n <(code.length);n++ )
{
var tText = code + "-----" + name + "\n"; //here i can not concatinating new line so what will be the right code
calloutForm.elements.value = tText;
var ttText = ttText + (calloutForm.elements.value);

}
calloutForm.elements.value = ttText;

any suggestion?

What is the output? I'd suggest changing your loop declaration only to declare "n", such that:

for (var n=0; n<code.length; n++)

Other than that, you may need to escape the n two or more times (instead of once, as we're all accustomed to).

Some context would help -- can you attach the PT (presumably) or whatever contains this code?

output should be ----

age[0]-----------name[0] //then coz of newline 2nd line will start
age[1]-----------name[1]//again new line
|
|
age[4]----------name[4]//again new line

That's helpful, but I'd like to know what the output currently is. And, again, posting the file that contains this code would help us to help you.

Should the pipe symbols between 1 and 4 be similar to 0, 1, and 4 or should they be literal pipe symbols?

Well, knowing nothing about the code around what you wrote, I would re-write your code like this:

var tempText = '';
for (n=0; n<code.length; n++)
{
tempText += code + "-----" + name + "\n";
}
calloutForm.elements.value = tempText;

If that doesn't work, there is something else wrong with your code. FYI, if you are using perl to output this javascript, you will likely have to use \\n instead of just \n.

hi jbonifaci;

i tried but it's not working. what happened i got all the array value in a single string. like
age[0]------------name[0]age[1]-----------name[1]age[2]-------------name[2]

I have a silly question for you. Is the field you are trying to set the value to a textarea or a text input box? If it is a text input box, you can not have new lines in it and it will ignore them when you are setting the value.

akshathp

what is your html code for the form in which you have this field?
I want to see how you are using textarea tag.
Thanks!
