Why this Error?

You have to concatenate your String correctly. This means

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
var article = '&lt;br ... CNN) --[/b] '+
'...'+
'...'+
'...';
CreateFCKeditor("newsedit", 650, 400, "newsedit", article);
</SCRIPT>

should work fine.

I got the same thing. I tried the above, but still got the same.

I found if you remove the newline characters before assigning the fckEditor.value value, all is good.

In php, you can use the following:

$newText = str_replace(chr(10), "", $originalText);
$newText = str_replace(chr(13), "", $newText);

this worked for me.

Hi,

Even though I code in ASP, I found these answers very useful. So thank you all. And for those of us that use ASP to retrieve DB info and place it in the editor, here is a sample of how to fix the "unterminated string" error with new line characters.

You will find that you can do multiple tests, but if you look at the results, you will find that you really only need one test (the first one).

As well, these tests should be done BEFORE assigning the DB text value to the editor textarea.

sample code :

<%

dim fldval
fldval = trim(rsRecordset("fldvalue"))

response.Write "<br><br>**************<br>Start of string<br>" & fldval & "<br>End of string<br>"

'find carriage return and line feed constants
if instr(1,fldval,vbcrlf) then
fldval = replace(fldval,vbcrlf,"")
response.Write "<br>vbcrlf found"
else
response.Write "<br>vbcrlf not found"
end if

'find carriage return constant
if instr(1,fldval,vbcr) then
fldval = replace(fldval,vbcr,"")
response.Write "<br>vbcr found"
else
response.Write "<br>vbcr not found"
end if

'find line feed constant
if instr(1,fldval,vblf) then
fldval = replace(fldval,vblf,"")
response.Write "<br>vblf found"
else
response.Write "<br>vblf not found"
end if


'find shift+return (line feed) character code
if instr(1,fldval,chr(10)) then
fldval = replace(fldval,chr(10),"")
response.Write "<br>10 found"
else
response.Write "<br>10 not found"
end if

'find return (carriage return) character code
if instr(1,fldval,chr(13)) then
fldval = replace(fldval,chr(13),"")
response.Write "<br>13 found"
else
response.Write "<br>13 not found"
end if
%>

This still fails in PHP, any suggestions???:

Thought it was ok yesterday, did;nt fully test it though. Also you may want to escape single quotes as well

/*

function prepTextForEditor($in)
{
$out = str_replace(chr(10), "", $in);
$out = str_replace(chr(13), "", $out);
return str_replace("'", "\'", $out);
}

Really great post after many hours searching just find the clue and i did it. Many thanks all of you some modification is there.

thisContent = rs("pageData")
thisContent = replace(thisContent,"'","\'")

if instr(1,thisContent,vbcrlf) then
thisContent = replace(thisContent,vbcrlf,"")
elseif instr(1,thisContent,vbcr) then
thisContent = replace(thisContent,vbcr,"")
elseif instr(1,thisContent,vblf) then
thisContent = replace(thisContent,vblf,"")
elseif instr(1,thisContent,chr(10)) then
thisContent = replace(thisContent,chr(10),"")
elseif instr(1,thisContent,chr(13)) then
thisContent = replace(thisContent,chr(13),"")
end if

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

window.onload = function()
{
document.f1.fck1.value='<%=thisContent%>';
}
</script>

Thanks all of you
