Generating Javascript

I don't know much about javascript, but I was able generate some javascript from some data retrieved from my database:

echo "document.write(\";
// echo my data...
echo "\");

this works fine.

but i'm having trouble generating a form this way:

echo "document.write(\";
echo "<FORM ACTION=\"http://www.mysite.com/process.php?\" METHOD=\"post\">";
//rest of form...
echo "</FORM>";
echo "\");

Is there a certian way you need to refer to form elements or form tags. I tried stripping echoed lines out one by one and it seems to be choking on the form tags.

echo can be broken across multiple lines...

echo "
<script>
<!--
document.write('<form action=\"http://www.mysite.com/process.php?\" method=\"post\"><!-- rest of form... --></form>');
// -->
</script>
";

document.write, on the other hand, is restricted to one line.

ahhh

so you could do:

maybe and then echo or print the $jsString out:



???

ok. but if i'm echoing my form between the document.write statement

echo "document.write(\";
// echo my form data...
echo "\");

isn't that generating one line.

I don't echo at all really... always use print() so I'm not sure ;(

time for http://php.net/echo ...

mmm, reading between the lines (geddit, *groan*) the echo *construct* outputs newlines implicitly, whereas with the print() *function* newlines must be added explicitly.
