Rails - Jan 2008 - Properly parsing carriage returns in Rails so javascript doesn't freak out

I''ve got some code that "quotes" the contents of a blog post
and
inserts it into a comment box wrapped in a blockquote. You can view it
here:

Problem is, every time I try to quote a block of text with more than
one line in it, the javascript freaks out. Can anyone tell me how I
should be parsing these line breaks properly? thanks!

Hi,

I just call the escape function (js) and it works fine e.g.

                <%= link_to_remote "Try it!",:url => { :action
=> :test_rule },
                   :with =>
"''code=''+escape(rule_rule_body.value)
+''&input_data=''+escape(input_data.value)
+''&business_type=''+escape(rule_business_type.value)"
%>

which passes a block of text for evaluation to the server.

Chris
