hi
im dynamically generating a page for which i have a javascript function that can generate errors.
i have several lines like : error += "error message\n";
so i can then alert a list of errors, on seperate lines

but when i create the page, it outputs it as:
error += "error message
";

can anyone gimme a hand? thanks
