[RESOLVED] Multi-Line alert

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 26.2006

I’d like to have two lines of text in an alert box, so I tried this:

[code=php]
alert(“Welcome to the site!nEnjoy Your stay!”);[/code]

It works just fine in WIE7, and last night it worked in FF. But now for some reason, FF either does absolutely nothing with it, or pops up a box saying “Welcome to the site!Nan”
Anyone know how I can get this fixed?

@KorOct 26.2006 — There is no reason for it should not work in anybrowser on this world. Maybe your FF is damaged or virused, things like that. It is not possible like something to have worked yesterday and stop working now, except if you have changed the code, removed something my mistake, mistyped...)

Not so much changed it, as put it inside the setTimeout function.

But that's ok. This works:
[code=php]
setTimeout(function(){alert("Welcome to the Site!nEnjoy Your Stay!")},5000);[/code]
Thanks~

@KorOct 26.2006 — See, you have [I]changed[/I] the code, as this is a major changing, because as a setTimeout parameter, the function/method becomes a quoted object (a sort of string, if you want...)

Yes, using an anonymous as parameter is a good method.

Wasn't my idea, but thanks anyway.
