width question

[lisaastrong]

Hello, I am new to this group and appreciate having it out there!


with a string like

<script>
var sometext = 'a long line of text...... text text text ... a long
line of text...... text text text';

// modify sometext string here

document.write(sometext);
</script>

can someone please show me various ways of precision to adjust the
width of the string before it is printed, using 100% javascript only
(no html tags please). hopefully the goal is to adjust it by pixel
width or something very approximate. Please let me know what my
options are.

Best wishes, Lisa Strong.

Should be splitted into several code lines using string concatenation
or a joined array.

document.write(sometext);
</script>

None. Why would you need that?

If you want to control how the text string will be displayed you are better
of using CSS. If you want to control the content of the string there are
functions for string manipulation. There is a good string tutorial here:

Hope it helps.
