Question

I am having problems with javascript not allowing my to use whitespace so I’m having to squash all the code making it hard to read.

Sample A: - Working:

output += '<li><a href="#">test here</a><li>';


Sample B: - Not Working:

output += '<li>
           <a href="#">test here</a>
           </li>';

Is there a way where I could get the above for work without having to first squash it all together?

Answer 1

The solution is a backspace:

output += '<li>\
           <a href="#">test here</a>\
           </li>';

EDIT
If you do want to keep the newlines, put \n before the \.
