Newline Character giving problems... Plsssssss help!!!!

[dimple.nshah]

Hello frenz...

Here is what I am trying to do:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function temp() {
var bodytext = "Name: " + document.Form.Name.value + "\n Date: "
+document.Form.DateToday.value;
window.open("mailto:[email protected]?subject=Form&Body= " +bodytext);
window.close();
}
</script>

All I want is the label Name and Date to be on seperate lines. I feel
very weird in asking such a simple thing, but it does NOT work .

Can anyone please help!!

Thanks in advance.
Dimple.

Because RFC 2368 says that newline must be written as %0D%0A.
