carriage returns cause javascript error on render

Hi,
 
I have an S-Control that is calling a description field into a textarea.
When this description field has a carriage return, it causes a Javascript error
 
S-Control Code:
Code:
output += "<input>{!Opportunity.Description}</input>";

 
Rendered as:
Code:
output += "<input>this is line 1
this is line 2</input>";

 What is the suggested way around this?
 
TIA

One option will be to put the mege filed in a hidden text area.
Something like:

<textarea id="id1">
 {!Opportunity.Description}
</textarea>

Then in your javascript you can get the text as:

output += document.getElementById("id1").value;


HTHs,

I keep receiving this error when i try call that value:
 
'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
 
Any ideas?

woops, i had stupidly removed a DIV tag that was being reference somewhere else onthe page.
 
SOrry, that answer was spot on!!
