JavaScript

Hi,

I've a Java String with new lines(\n), say for example

String value = "This is a variable\n\nfrom\nJava";

Now I've to set this to a Javascript variable in a JSP file,

<script>var val = '<%= value %>';</script>

But because of the new lines in the above line, I'm getting javascript error "Unterminated String".

Please help me.
