Question

I need to do a function on Jquery that write in a div some HTML elements.

Code is this :

function loadAppartamenti() {
    $('.profilo_2').empty();
    $('.profilo_2').html("<label class='article_span'>Inserisci Zona (es. Via/Località)</label> /
                          <input id='art_1' class='article_input' /> /
                          <label class='article_span'>Costo (€ Mese)</label> /
                          <input id='art_2' class='article_input' /> /
                          <label class='article_span'>Disponibilità (Periodo In Mesi)</label> /
                          <input id='art_3' class='article_input' /> /
                          <label class='article_span'>Condizioni</label> /
                          <input id='art_4' class='article_input' /> /
                          <label class='article_span'>Servizi Presenti</label> /
                          <input id='art_5' class='article_input' />");
}

I need to clean the code as clean as possible, so i’ve aligned it (I go to the new line when i write a line).

I know that on Javascript i can do it, adding a / at the end of each line. But maybe i wrong remember. In fact if i run this code on Chrome, the console says “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL”.

How can I fix this problem? I don’t want to write the code on 1 line 🙂

You need a backslash at the end of each line rather than a forward slash:

var s = "one\
         two\
         three";
