Problem:

I want to insert a few fairly large paragraphs of text into a page on my site, which was planning on using a JavaScript document.write command on the page, and having a variable in a separate script containing the actual text. This was so that the page could be generic, and each one could have its individual JavaScript text file.

So in the page I have
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<p>' + howtoget + '</p>');
</script>

and in the text.js file, I have

Code:
var howtoget="Text <a href="link.html">text</a>";

This does not work, which I know is because of the links as I have tried taking them out, which does work.

So the question is, is there any way to contain HTML code in the javascript variable so that it will function as normal when put on the page?

Thank you in advance!

You might check out included content, there is an example there that has
Code:  which is
Code: | <a href="/default.asp">Home</a> | <a href="/about.asp">About</a> | <a href="/contact.asp">Contact</a> |
There is also HTML to JavaScript Convertor, Convert HTML to JavaScript, or Cut & Paste HTML to JavaScript converter that might help some.
