Bad escaping of EOL

Question

I am trying to work with a simple WYSIWYG editor. JSLint is saying it has \"Bad escaping of EOL\". Since I am new to javascript I am having a hard time figuring out what it mean

Answer 1

JS didn't support end-of-line escaping with \ until ES5 - you can use multiple strings with a + operator instead, i.e.

"string 1" +
"string 2" +
"string 3"

Re: your other questions:

1. Use parseInt(n, 10) to force base (aka radix) 10, i.e. decimal

2. Use iframe.style.height instead of iframe.style['height']

Answer 2

You have two options:

1) activate multistr: true as suggested by @csharpfolk. (You can do it at file level by adding /*jshint multistr: true */ or add it in your linter config file (.jshintrc, .eslintrc, etc.)).

2) Replace your multistring as suggested by @Altinak or use an array and join:

["string 1", "string 2", "string 3", ].join('')
