html-el:select embeded in js, what should I do to let it runing or not Unterminated String Constant

[endswel shui]

 
        if (obj.value == 'XXX') {
	        offStateValue = '<html-el:select property="firstObject.resState" styleClass="selecttext" disabled="${!proposalForm.editable}">';
	        offStateValue += '<html-el:options collection="states" property="value" labelProperty="label"/>';
	        offStateValue += '</html-el:select>';
	        offStateValue += '<html-el:errors property="firstObject.offStateCode"/>';  
        } else {
            offStateValue = '<html-el:text property="firstObject.offState" styleClass="inputtext" maxlength="30" disabled="${!proposalForm.editable}"/>';                                 
        }
        
 

but it parse it

           alert(obj.value);
        if (obj.value == 'XXX') {
[b]            offStateValue = '<select name="firstObject.offState" class="selecttext"><option value="">Select...</option>
            <option value="STATE1">STATE1.DESC</option>'
<option value="STATE2">STATE2.DESC</option>
<option value="STATE3">STATE3.DESC</option>
<option value="STATE4">STATE4.DESC</option>
<option value="STATE5">STATE5.DESC</option></select>';[/b]
            offStateValue += '';  
        } else {
            offStateValue = '<input type="text" name="firstObject.offState" maxlength="30" value="33333333" class="inputtext">';                                 
        }
 

I want it can parse it like below

           
if (obj.value == 'XXX') {
[b]            offStateValue = '<select name="firstObject.offState" class="selecttext"><option value="">Select...</option><option value="STATE1">STATE1.DESC</option><option value="STATE2">STATE2.DESC</option><option value="STATE3">STATE3.DESC</option><option value="STATE4">STATE4.DESC</option><option value="STATE5">STATE5.DESC</option></select>';
            offStateValue += '';  [/b]
        } else {
            offStateValue = '<input type="text" name="firstObject.offState" maxlength="30" value="33333333" class="inputtext">';                                 
        }
 

how should I do

[David Newton]

Using custom tag output as a JavaScript string when the tag's output spans multiple lines is probably not very practical, since JavaScript doesn't support herestrings/multi-line strings without using a line continuation character.

You're probably better off using hidden divs and toggling between them based on your existing test (if you need to allow both on the same page without a refresh) or doing to comparison during page load if you don't.

Technically this probably isn't a Struts question, but a JavaScript question.

[endswel shui]

sorry, have you seen my details more

how should i do in the js
i want to use the js to iterator the component.
using jstl or other tag.

thank for your reply.
If you have time, reply more. thanks

I cant use the div to force it one line,

[David Newton]

I understood the problem.

The tag's output is set by the tag implementation. Unless you re-write the tag, the tag output isn't going to change.

I gave you some alternatives; I am not sure what else you want.

[endswel shui]

and do you know how to implement it
the back I have implement the javabean collections

and using other customer to implement it also OK,
I want to rewrite the tag, but the head of me do not agree.

so....

thanks David.
do you have any other good idea to implement it?
except using the request.getAttribute()

[David Newton]

Rewriting the tag would be a complicated solution to a relatively easy problem.

I already provided two potential solutions, each appropriate for a different set of requirements--without knowing more precisely what you require, those are the only solutions I have.

How
David

[endswel shui]

you just gave the java code, the java code I can implement
I want the UI show

[David Newton]

I don't recall giving any Java code.

Like I said--I don't know how you need your application to operate, so there's not much more I can do.

[endswel shui]

I have a collection

and the ui will show two collection,

because it is a cascade collection,

one collection will trigger another collection, but sometime it trigger others, eg. freebox
so

I have to write a collection in the js dynamic, in the html, I use the div to block or none
