Is there a way to stop Tomcat 4.0.1 from writing whole JSP's as a single
lines? The Cause of Javascript Problems
Background:
I have switched from Tomcat 3.23/Servlet 1.31 on a SUN server to Tomcat
4.0.1 on Mac OS X.1.2.
Everything SEEMED to be working fine (after quite a struggle with
configuration which has to do with documentation.)
(I know everyone has heard this before but I really need to add my two
cent worth...)
...I thought everything worked fine BUT ... then I noticed all my JSP
pages now have broken JAVASCRIPTs...
I figured out the reason why by using a <editorial comment>really
great</editional comment> browser/editor OMNIWEB.
The reason why is that with my installed version of Tomcat 4.0.1 ,all
the JSPs are written out as a very long single line of
<html>....................</html>
Now this didn't really bother me 'till I noticed that this breaks the
JAVASCRIPT because browsers need the Javascript to be enclosed into <!--
.......//--> blocks but in the form
<!-- <CR>
Script functions here ....... <CR>
//--><CR>
The important point is that there needs to be a <CR> carriage return
after the <!-- so that it is a seperate line
Does anyone know of a way to make Tomcat leave the formating of a page
alone?
Thanks for your help,
Terry

Disregard my post...
The problem was that I forgot to change the <CR> to UNIX <LF> when I moved
to Mac OS X...
Sorry about that...
But also a reminder to other Mac OS X users... your files need to have UNIX
<LF> when to transfer them to the OS X server directory... otherwise you
will have difficulty with your Javascript...
