Thanks Milo, that works just fine.

If I'm understanding correctly, then this should display cleanly. Milo On 1/6/06, Del Wegener <del at delweg.com> wrote: Good Morning; I use variables to hold potential responses to quiz questions. Depending on a student's response to a question, I choose a response variable and display its contents in a text field with a statement like quiz.feedback.value = wrongResponse1; I do not want mathematical equations to be broken at the end of a line. A typical variable assignment might be: wrongResponse1 = " When 3 is substituted into the equation we obtain the false statement 4(3) - 7(3) = 47. Therefore 3 is not a solution of the equation." How do I prevent a line-break in the statement 4(3) - 7(3) = 47? How do I force a line-break at the beginning of the statement 4(3) - 7(3) = 47 ? I really do not want to use several variables. Thanks for any help.
