[Javascript] Does js have a HEREDOC like statement?

[tedd]

Hi gang:

The subject line says it all, does javascript have a statement 
similar to php's HEREDOC?

I'm trying to create a variable where returns, white spaces, and 
linefeeds don't matter, like this:

var message = "<h1>Hi there</h1>
<p>
what's happening?
</p>";

However, that doesn't work for what I want -- so I figured that I 
would ask this most imaginative group as to what they do.

However, I did find this:

<script>

function GetMultiLine(sStr)
{
var s = sStr;

s = s.replace(/function/, '');
s = s.replace(/\(/, '');
s = s.replace(/\)/, '');
s = s.replace(/\{/, '');
s = s.replace(/\}/, '', -1);
s = s.replace(/\//, '');
s = s.replace(/\*/, '');
s = s.replace(/\//, '', -1);
s = s.replace(/\*/, '', -1);

return s;
}

var f = function() {
/*
the
quick
brown
fox
jumps
over
the lazy dog
*/
};

alert(GetMultiLine(new String(f)));

</script>

But, that's a lot of work -- does anyone have a simpler method?

Cheers,

tedd
