Talking Unterminated String Literal Error
Hello,

The line I am getting this error from is -

Code:
var jsstart="<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"JavaScript\"> function SetValue() {self.close()} </script>";


If I remove </script> from the end, the error disappears. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am unable to figure this one out. Any ideas guys?

i think your script is interpreting the forward slash as a line javascript line break. try replacing the forward slash with "%2F"; you may have to use eval() - you'll just have to test it and see.

Thanks a lot! After I changed </script> to <\/script>, it worked like a charm.

The browser interprets "</script>" as the ending script tag. Easy way I've always fixed that is to use "</scr"+"ipt>" instead.
