This works:
var htmlString = "<div>This is a string.</div>";
This fails:
var htmlSTring = "<div>
This is a string.
</div>";
Sometimes this is desirable for readability.
Add backslashes to get it to work:
var htmlSTring = "<div>\
This is a string.\
</div>";
Looks pretty cool. I was looking for a way to do that…
try this
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="crazy_idea" thorn_in_my_side='<table border="0">
<tr>
<td ><span class="mlayouttablecellsdynamic">PACKAGE price $65.00</span></td>
</tr>
</table>'></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert($(".crazy_idea").attr("thorn_in_my_side"));
</script>
That might be crazy but also genius.
This also works.
[code]
var htmlSTring = “”+
” This is a string.”+
“”;
[/code]
I really like this way:
var htmlString = [
”,
”,
”
].join(”);
I like this one. :)
Looking at this guide (under «Multiline string literals») this syntax don’t seems to be a good practice and it’s not part of ECMAScript (but I admit I like it anyway)
Douglas Crockford advise not to use that because if you have a space character after the slash that escapes your multiline string it fails.
Look at slide 12 : http://www.slideshare.net/douglascrockford/level-7-ecmascript-5-the-new-parts
Try one of theses techniques : http://jsperf.com/zp-string-concatenation/5
If PHP is available, another option is to parse out the extra white space on the server like so (short tags could be useful here too, but not advised):
I think Fabrizio is right, the escaping trick isn’t supported by the standard.
Question on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13808106/866206
I find the following solution pretty nice, when the string comes from PHP.
var MultiLine = '<?php echo str_replace("\n", "\\n", $the_string);?>'
any help my code :
i should error to my code :(
When these folks get on board, the new passenger count is reported to the conductor. Build a string called countMessage that uses numPassengers to say:
Attention: There are now 3 passengers on the train!
with ECMA6 you can use:
var htmlString = `multiline
like
a
charm`;
:)
but it is unreliable in IE
With this way you can preserve normal html indenting.
Michal Miky Jankovský’s suggestion (using accent grave to quote multiline literal strings) works great on latest Firefox and Chrome, but fails on IE 11. I wish Javascript were a living language, one that could be improved without strain. I see a reason for one-line use of apostrophe and double-quote, but it is not a good one, while there are many, many use cases for multiline quotations.
I found this very helpful, but I had to troubleshoot a new error for a while. I use single quotes for my strings in Javascript instead of double quotes, so a callout that the double quotes are a requirement for this method to work properly would have been helpful and time saving.
Template literals is the best way to go
Hello All,
I used the back ticks solution provided within this stackoverflow link (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/805107/creating-multiline-strings-in-javascript) which seems to have resolved my issue.
Just wondering, would this get me into trouble down the road?
Is there a better way to do this?
var template = ['
'Hello {1}, and {2}'.format('world', 'univerce!'),
'].join('');
Are extremly fast and perfect for me!
String inside the backtick
I use ALT + 96 to make it
