Anything similar to EOD heredoc definitions in Javascript?

[optik]

Hi

When defnining a variable in PHP you can avoid using slashes on every quote by using
i=<<<EOD
value
EOD;

is there anything similar in javascript or is escaping quotes the only way?

Not in the code directly, but you could store the data in a hidden input or div and access it's value or .innerHTML (respectively) if you have a really long bit of text/html to write.

There are some hacky ways of doing it with comments, but nothing I've seen is reliable across browsers.

ok I'll probably stick with escaping quotes

Or, singlequote the string itself ... that way you do not have to escape all doublequotes.
