Alert Message and linefeeds

user346369Jul 17 2003 — edited Jul 21 2003
I can create a multi-line alert in the Forms 6i Builder, Alert Property Palette, in the Message by using the editor window and typing and using the Enter key to break the line. When I close the edit window, the text shows up on the property with a box where the linefeed is. If I cut the box and paste it into a different editor, I see it is actually the chr(10) linefeed character.

When I compile and run the form on Web Forms 6i, the message displays as a multi-line message, with linefeeds where I wanted them.

However, I cannot use Set_Alert_Property to set the message. The Chr(10) characters are displayed on the web forms as a square box.

An earlier topic here reported that using \n or /n in place of chr(10) would work in Web Forms, but I cannot get either to work.

So if anyone knows how to use Set_Alert_Property to set the message containing a linefeed that works on Web Forms 6i, I would really like to know.

Thanks in advance.
