I'm working with a template that gets its data from a database via a php
templating layer. (which is all fine). But for this particular template
I need to insert some of the data into a javascript variable assignment.
Trouble is the data comes with a carriage return. So I start with:
var str = '<? getMeSomeValue() ?>';
and I get:
var str = '
32';
which then thows an unterminated string constant error in my browser.
Is there another way or do I need to go back to the server-side code
(big PIA) to strip the carriage return? I can't chop the last character
off on the client side because I can't complete the variable (string)
assignment without causing an error.
grasping at straws,
Sam
