Multiple lines in Alert Box Message

[HungryH]

I know how to use alert boxes. I just want to know how to place a message with multiple lines in an alert box. I have tried using \n and \r between the lines but it only creates an error in the browser.

Can anyone help?

\n is the way to do it. Here's an example:

alert('Hi\nthere');

Will look like:

Hi
there

Just to tack on to what link9 already said, you can also concatenate several strings together like so:

var myMsg = "This is a message\n";
myMsg += "This is the second line\n";
myMsg += "This is the third line\n";
myMsg += "End of message.";
alert(myMsg);

But the concept is still the same. Have fun! Kevin
