inserted line feeds in concatenated strings

[Christoph Kukulies <ku...@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de>]

I'm seeing different browser behaviour between unix netscape
vs. Windows (NT) Netscape or MSIE.

I'm generating a page with text between <PRE>...</PRE>.
The text is generated via out.println(text + "," + number);
and I get a line break after 'text' while under Unix browsers I don't
get a line break.

Any idea?

Yep.









Oh, you want the idea? Use the System property to get
the line.separator property and use that rather than
assume that line breaks will happen. (They obviously
won't on every platform unless you use the System
property object, as you have experienced.)
