Writing HTML with Javascript

[GiffordS]

Having an issue creating a custom window for a google map application. The actual problem is with putting text inside the window. Everything works until I try to put some html in there and then it all falls apart. Here's the basic code that actually works....

    var point = new GLatLng(27.895526,-82.736754);
      var html = 'Foo';

That pops up the infowindow with Foo inside of it. However, when I try to expand that and add a little formatting....

 var point = new GLatLng(27.817875,-82.654844);
      var html =' <table class="arial13black borderb" width="200">
   <tr><td width="200">Price</td></tr>
   <tr><td width="200">Address</td></tr>
   <tr><td width="200">image</td></tr>
   </tr>
   </table>';

the entire script breaks. I'm guessing this is an escaping issue but I'm a bit clueless with exactly what or where as I don't usually work in JS. Any thoughts?

Gifford, do you have a page online where we can view this? You're likely using some imported .js file because GLatLng is not a built in Javascript object. Without seeing what this object is or what it does, it's near impossible to give you any suggestions.

kaht,

Thanks for trying. The issue wasn't actually pretty simple. I had linebreaks in the html which caused the script to end abruptly. Once I formatted the html all in one line it clicked right along.

As for the script itself, it's part of the google map api, but I've already asked on this forum before if anyone had some knowledge of that api and got no response, so it did not seem relevant to post the entire script. Thanks again for the response though.

If you have a lot of HTML to write out, check out the end of thread216-626699 to see a technique on how to have a string span multiple lines.
