    Hi All

    Ok. i have a javascript confirm in one of my JSPs which gets its message from a resource bundle in a properties file.

    <input type="submit"
    onclick="return confirm('<fmt:message key="Exit.UND"/>')" tabindex="9989"
    accesskey="E"
    id="btn_close_0"
    name="btn_close_0"
    value="Exit "
    class="btn"/>

    The message property is as follows:

    Exit.UND=If you exit now, some information may not be saved. This only affects data you’ve just entered on the current screen. To save the data,<em> return <em>and press "Next"

    So far so good.

    Problem arises when i need to add more info to this message - and skip a line before the next sentence begins.

    I have tried:

    <br>
    <br/>
    \n
    <br>
    <br/>

    I am perplexed.. any javascript gurus able to tell me how to edit the resource message so that i get the desired effect in my dialog box?

    Thanks..

    Gav

    hey,

    i havent used message boxes in a while,
    if i remember correctly, they dont take html, so the <br /> etc wont work

    I think your on track with the \n, however, \n just moves to a new line, directly below where you finished, but the same amount of columns acorss.

    Try using \n with \r for a carriage return to reset to the beginning of the line

    "....my message text \r\n new line of text...."

    thanks mate.. your suggestion is the way to do it when one adds the confirmation text directly into the javascript itself.

    But in my example i want to add the character return in the properties file; and sadly, a \r\n, \n, '\r\n&apos etc ... doesn't work :confused:

    Have you tried escapeing the \ slash i.e \\n or \\r
