    Help inserting richtext/simple editor into javascript variable

    Hello there.

    Im at the moment developing a site where i am using google maps api v3 and im trying to make it posible for the content editor to edit the content of an InfoWindow google.maps.InfoWindow with a richtext/simple editor my problem is when i insert the pagefield to the javascript variable controling the content of the InfoWindow, the content of the richtext editor is something like this <strong>Header</strong>Address field<a href="#">link</a> and i use the insert <br /> at linebreaks but when i insert the pagefield into my JavaScript code like this

    var iContent = "<article id='infoWindow' style='overflow: hidden;'><umbraco:Item field="infoWindow" convertLineBreaks="true" recursive="true" runat="server" /></article>";

    the data retrieved from the pagefield named infoWindow breaks out on more lines so the javascript code fails. i can fix this when adding \ to the end of all lines in the editor in the content section of umbraco. but this isn't optimal for the content editor if he wants to have tables/divs/other html stuff or something when he is editing the infowindows throughout the site.

    Result getting atm(here it breaks the lines of output from the pagefield):

    var iContent = "<article id='iWindow' style='overflow: hidden;'><strong>Header</strong><br />
    Knudsminde 7A<br />
    8300 Odder<br />
    <br />
    <a href='#' target='_blank'>Få rutevejledning</a><br /></article>";

    wanted result for no javascript error(the html is retrieved in on line of code without line breaks that javascript cant handle): 

    var iContent = "<article id='iWindow' style='overflow: hidden;'><strong>Header</strong><br />Knudsminde 7A<br />8300 Odder<br /><br /><a href='#' target='_blank'>Få rutevejledning</a><br /></article>";

    hope you understand my problem. and that somebody have a solution for this problem.

    Can't you use a function to remove the line breaks ?

    any suggestions for how that function should be created i've tried to wrap it inside a javascript function which gives the same issue.

    the posted javascript code breaks up like this when inserting it in a javascript function

    var iContent;
function test(var teststring) {
    iContent = teststring;
}

test(<umbraco:Item field="infoWindow" convertLineBreaks="true" recursive="true" runat="server" />);

    results in

    test(<strong>Header</strong><br />
    Knudsminde 7A<br />
    8300 Odder<br />
    <br />
    <a href='#' target='_blank'>Få rutevejledning</a><br />);

    and if i set it on a onload it like this

    <body onload="test(<umbraco:Item field="infoWindow" convertLineBreaks="true" recursive="true" runat="server" />)">

    results in

    <body onload="test(<strong>Header</strong><br />
    Knudsminde 7A<br />
    8300 Odder<br />
    <br />
    <a href='#' target='_blank'>Få rutevejledning</a><br />)">
