Properly parsing carriage returns in Rails so javascript doesn't freak out

Rails

I’ve got some code that “quotes” the contents of a blog post and
inserts it into a comment box wrapped in a blockquote. You can view it
here:

Problem is, every time I try to quote a block of text with more than
one line in it, the javascript freaks out. Can anyone tell me how I
should be parsing these line breaks properly? thanks!

Hi,

I just call the escape function (js) and it works fine e.g.

            <%= link_to_remote "Try it!",:url => { :action

=> :test_rule },
:with => “‘code=’+escape(rule_rule_body.value)
+’&input_data=’+escape(input_data.value)
+’&business_type=’+escape(rule_business_type.value)” %>

which passes a block of text for evaluation to the server.
