Question

I have a javascript box popping up with some message in it but I have not found how to add line breaks from code behind and I am asked to make it to do so, here is how it currently works:

 Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "key", 
"function SendBox() {location.href = 'movetopage.aspx';}
 if(confirm('Move the items:" + myListOfItems + ". Do you want to continue? ') == true)
 {SendBox();};", true);

That shows ok on the page, but now I need to add the following line

"Clicking OK:  Moves the items and continues"

So the end bos should show like this

Move the items: Books, Magazines, Newspapers. Do you want to continue?

Cliking OK: Moves the items and continues.

Notice the break between the first line and second line?, I am not sure how to add that into the box given the code I provided for the Page.ClientScript… etc..

How can I add that break line there to the pop up box?

 Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "key", 
"function SendBox() {location.href = 'movetopage.aspx';}
 if(confirm('Move the items:" + myListOfItems + ". Do you want to continue? 
<BR> 
 Clicking OK: Moves the items and continues') == true)
 {SendBox();};", true);

I tried adding a break
but would not work (makes sense) but i have exhausted options.

Use \n insted of <br/> becuase it’s not htmt, for your condition you should use \\n because in c# \ should be escape
