I'm a relative newbie looking for some help.  Don't laugh, you were there once, too..  :(  

Here's the deal.  We have a custom link (button) on a standard account page.  The javascript is supposed to take the value of the custom physical_address__c field (textarea) and copy it to the standard BillingAddress fields (BillingStreet, BillingCity, etc).

Everything works when there is only one line in the custom field; but if the user has entered a line feed / carriage return (as many do), the script produces an ILLEGAL TOKEN error.

I've read everything I could find about stripping line feeds out using javascript, but so far no luck.  I suspect it's because I haven't figured out how to strip the characters before assigning the field value to a javascript variable.  Original code is below, for reference.

Any help out there?  I would really appreciate it..

Thanks,

Lewis

result = sforce.connection.update([a]);
