[Javascript] Wacky unterminated string + alert + IFRAME error....

Wacky unterminated string + alert + IFRAME error....

I have a page that embeds a remote javascript file.
That remote javascript file (MEchecker_test.js) creates 
an IFRAME, and then attempts to write into it.

When the remote javascript file includes an alert() function,
it works perfectly.  When I remove the alert() function,
I get an "unterminated string constant".

I've tested in both IE 5.01 and 5.5, with the same results.

	Any ideas?

	Please respond to: cnathan at MEconomy.com

		Thanks!
