Server Type: ASP JavaScript

Here's the source code of an insertpage which inserts linebrakes when enter is pushed in a textarea. Please check the bolded text and see whether i placed it right or not. I'll be very grateful

Here's my code, works ok but won't include those nifty linebrakes...

// create the sql insert statement
var MM_tableValues = "", MM_dbValues = "";
for (var i=0; i+1 < MM_fields.length; i+=2) {
var formVal = MM_fields[i+1];
var MM_typesArray = MM_columns[i+1].split(",";
var delim = (MM_typesArray[0] != "none" ? MM_typesArray[0] : "";
var altVal = (MM_typesArray[1] != "none" ? MM_typesArray[1] : "";
var emptyVal = (MM_typesArray[2] != "none" ? MM_typesArray[2] : "";
if (formVal == "" || formVal == "undefined" {
formVal = emptyVal;
} else {
if (altVal != "" {
formVal = altVal;
} else if (delim == "'" { // escape quotes
formVal = "'" + formVal.replace(/'/g,"''" + "'";
} else {
formVal = delim + formVal + delim;
<b>FormVal = Replace(FormVal,vbCrLf,"&lt;br&gt;" </b>
}
}

MM_tableValues += ((i != 0) ? "," : "" + MM_columns[i];
MM_dbValues += ((i != 0) ? "," : "" + formVal;
}

Well, I'm just as new to ASP and all, but if you use javascript, aren't the variables case-sensetive?

ie,
FormVal = Replace(FormVal,vbcrlf,"&lt;br&gt;"

wouldn't exist because you've never referenced FormVal before (You've just referenced formval - in lowercase)

Hmmm, thanks for the reply...

I did what you told me to, still doesen't work... I was thinking that perhaps this bolded line is placed wrong, and that it should be another place... Anybody who knows?

(update)
Do I have to define vbcrlf? In case, how and where do I do that??

YES! Finally decided to run a search for vbclrf in the forum and then I found an interresting tech note from macromedia which presented a solution to my f**** troubles. Thanks for replying though aegiskleais.
