HTML in JavaScript Error

[dnout]

Hi,

I am trying to inclue some HTML in a javascript line, but I am getting errors. This is what I have:

body="<table width='590' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
                <tr>
                  <td style='padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;' width='235' height='150' valign='bottom' bgcolor='#737375'><span class='slogan'><strong><text</strong></span></td>
                  <td width='355'><img src='images/head_01.jpg' alt=''/></td>
                </tr>
              </table>";

Any ideas why this is?

javascript doesn't just ignore whitespace like PHP... every carraige return it expects a new statement... so put all the code on one line.

Also, next time you ask for help, you're more likely to get a response if you post the error message instead of just saying "I get errors"

Rather than adding it all to one line you might want to build it over several lines like this:

body="<table width='590' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>";
body += "                <tr>";
body += "                 <td style='padding: 10px; border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;' width='235' height='150' valign='bottom' bgcolor='#737375'><span class='slogan'><strong><text</strong></span></td>";
body += "                  <td width='355'><img src='images/head_01.jpg' alt=''/></td>";
body += "                </tr>";
body += "              </table>";
