Javascript in C#.Net web application

[MBlock]

Hey everyone,

I have what I imagine is a pretty basic question but I am just getting into javascript. I want to create a new line break in a javascript message for my web app I am working on. Right now the dialog box pop up is too long and I want to just have two lines of text instead of all on one. The code I have is:

string sJavaScript ="";
sJavaScript = "<script language='javascript'>";
sJavaScript += "alert('Line1 '\n' Line2');";
sJavaScript += "</scr" + "ipt>";
Response.Write(sJavaScript);

When I run that IE gives me a javascript error saying:

Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Expected ')'
Code: 0

And no pop-up is displayed. if I remove the '\n' part than it displays just fine... but all on one line. if I remove the two apostrophe's and just have the \n in between the lines than I get an error that says "Unterminated string constant" and Line: 1 and Char: 78


Please ANY insight or advice as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Problem solved. Just in case anyone else ever comes across this problem. The solution is as follows:

Since I was using Visual Studios and adding all the J Script to a string variable THEN passing the string into it's runtime what I had written was " Line 1 \n Line 2" this was merely creating a new line in the runtime and not being processed as a new line in the alert box so the escape sequence of \n was not actually getting written into the runtime. So I simply needed to dereference the '\n' operation by using the following sintax

alert('Line 1 \\n Line 2')

That way the \n was getting carried through the string creation and being passed into the runtime.

string sJavaScript ="";
sJavaScript = @"alert('Line1 \n\r Line2');";
ClientScript.RegisterScriptBlock(this.GetType(),"__test",sJavaScript,true);
