How do I feed string variable holding multiline value in it to jquery method like prepend? I need it to construct a form pass by drupal search module like - $('#divsearch').prepend('<?php print $search_box; ?>'). Thanks a bunch.

I think the problem is that you can have carriage returns or new lines in you string lets take out the php and show what i mean

$('#divsearch').prepend('<div />');

this would work

$('#divsearch').prepend('<div>some text that goes 
      in a div</div>'); 

this does not work

$('#divsearch').prepend('<div>some text that goes'+
      'in a div</div>'); 

this woould
