[Javascript] String on multiple lines

[Peter Lauri]

Thanks. I did know that problem before. But I was curious if JS could catch
multiple lines like PHP can, but now I know it can not.

Thanks.

Here's my understanding of why you can't do this: a JavaScript  
runtime does two things to code.  First, it parses it.  Then, it  
executes it.  Line breaks indicate the end of a line of code in  
JavaScript, and a line of code can't end with a string open, so the  
parsing fails.  So you can't solve this problem with JavaScript code,  
because JavaScript never gets to the step of executing the code.

Peace,
Scott
