Appending a div

Question

Hi i'm coding my own sort of commentfield for my website, so im trying out using the append function in jquery, but netbeans is telling me this function call is missing quotes

$( "#comment" ).append( "<div class="userComment">
    <b>testName</b>
          <p>TestText</p>
      </div>" );

You can't break a string onto multiple lines in JavaScript as far as I know. Meaning you'll have to concatenate: $("#comment").append("
"+ "testName"+ "
TestText
"+ "
"); — Jesus is Lord, Sep 14 '14 at 21:09
@undefined Oh like C-style syntax. Didn't know that. http://davidwalsh.name/multiline-javascript-strings for future readers. — Jesus is Lord, Sep 14 '14 at 21:14

This should work fine

$( "#comment" ).append( '<div class="userComment"><b>testName</b><p>TestText</p></div>' );
