Multi-line alert in Javascript

Question

This code

alert("Hello again! This is how we" + "\n" + "add line breaks to an alert box!");

doesn't work. Firefox JavaScript console names error as "unterminated string literal" and points on " symbol before \n. I want to fire an alert with multi-line text. No jQuery please.

Answer 1

Haven't tested but does this work?

alert("Hello again! This is how we \n add line breaks to an alert box!"); 

Answer 2

This just happened to me... exactly. I needed to change it to \\n instead of \n.

alert("Hello again! This is how we"+"\\n"+"add line breaks to an alert box!");
