Hi there...

I wrote a function that will inserts a list item somewhere in the middle of the list (technically, it's right before the list item that is marked with an id="something")

Here it is...

function addListItem(lcTag, lcText, lcClassName) {

var currentNode = document.getElementById(lcTag);
var list = currentNode.parentNode;
var newNode = document.createElement("li");
var spanNode = document.createElement("span");

var newTextNode = document.createTextNode(lcText);
spanNode.appendChild(newTextNode);

if (lcClassName)
{
spanNode.className=lcClassName;
}

newNode.appendChild(spanNode);
list.insertBefore(newNode, currentNode);

}

Here's how the function would be passed...

addUserListItem('before this item', 'For more information, check out our help page', 'black')

My problem is that I may want to break the lcText string into two lines. Is there a way to pass this through the argument?

Thanks
Donna

simply add an "<br/>" tag in the parameter you give to your function. As it is HTML, it will interpret the tag as a line break.

addUserListItem('before this item', 'For more information, check out <br/>our help page', 'black');

Tripy,

Thanks for responding... but it doesn't work. It'll pass the <br /> as part of the copy.

I even tried to isolate the <br /> by sending it within double quotes when passing a single quote string... didn't work.

Did you tried this ?
