Why does "\n" create a new line even when told not to?

I am having a problem with "\n" creating a line even when it is told not to when copying. The fix is probably something simple that I am just not seeing for some reason. I would appreciate any input or coaching on this problem.
(Please only give me Javascript answers as I am not interested in jquery or other methods)
<script type="text/javascript">
if (pullDownResponseE == "")
{
}
else {
var pullDownValuesE = document.getElementById("taskOne");
var pullDownResponseE = pullDownValuesE.options[pullDownValuesE.selectedIndex].value;
stuffToCopy = stuffToCopy + "\n" + pullDownResponseE;
}
if (pullDownResponseF == "")
{
}
else{
var pullDownValuesF = document.getElementById("taskTwo");
var pullDownResponseF = pullDownValuesF.options[pullDownValuesF.selectedIndex].value;
stuffToCopy = stuffToCopy + "\n" + pullDownResponseF;
}
</script>
As you can see, pullDownResponseF and pullDownReponseE should do nothing if my dropdown value equals "" and this portion works for the most part, it doesn't execute any of the else code EXCEPT for the new line "\n" part.
Can anyone explain what is going wrong here?
EDIT: Having more code might help here. I'll only include the essential portions since it is so long.

If somebody skips filling out a note field or skips a dropdown in this example then it will not execute the code like I intended but it does create a new line when copied like this:
taskOne selected
(extra line here since task two wasn't selected)
taskThree selected
I would like there not to be an extra line between Task one and three if task two is skipped. Like this:
taskOne selected
taskThree selected
Note: I know that having else {} is pointless but it helps me visually.
I created snips of exactly what it looks like when copy/pasted from my tool that you can view here if you would like:
Example 1: http://imgur.com/wGO5vnT
Example 2: http://imgur.com/UX1tG5S
Here is an example of my html as well:
<html lang="en">
What tasks are needed for the case?
<br />
<select class="style3" id="taskOne">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="ABN needed">ABN needed</option>
<option value="Auth needed">Auth needed</option>
</select>
</html>

No, it doesn't add a new line, see:
stuffToCopy = "";
controlGroup = "a\nb";
pullDownResponseE = "";
if (pullDownResponseE == "")
{
}
else {
var pullDownValuesE = "taskOne";
var pullDownResponseE = "value";
stuffToCopy = stuffToCopy + "\n" + pullDownResponseE;
}
alert("stuffToCopy:"+stuffToCopy+";(no new-line here)\ncontrolGroup:"+controlGroup);
My guess is that your html is printed in such away that the values you get from the inputs contain an extra new-line at the end. Try changing your html to be 1 line, without new-lines, and test again.
Instead of:
<option value="a
">b
</option>
try:
<option value="a">b</option>

Alright so I fixed it, should have used the almighty document.getElementById instead of attempting to use pullDownReponse for my if statements..
I simply changed the if statements like this:
if (pullDownResponseg == "")
{
}
To this:
if (document.getElementById("taskThree").value == "")
{
}
Thanks for the help from the sincere. (and ridiculous non-answers from the others)

CRM Javascript, multiple independent sets of script on the same OnLoad form

I am new to Javascript, I basically have a form to edit on CRM. I have two pieces of script, independent of each other, they both work fine on their own when I use the OnLoad feature, however when I put both sets of code into the same script developer (since its for the same form on CRM), one of them does not work.
Can anyone help and is there any special syntax to have multiple scripts on the same form?
Thanks

for (j = 0; j < _roles.length; j++) {
if (roles[i].text == _roles[j]) {

Hi everyone who has read this, I found a solution to the problem.
I used an If statement to define what the output should be based on an input into the function. This is shown in the code below, Use this code with the function GetCurrentUserRoles. Thanks for all the help.
if(UserHasRole("Collections") ==true)
{
crmForm.all.new_pend.Disabled = false;
return;
}
else if (UserHasRole("Collections") ==false)
{
crmForm.all.new_pend.Disabled = true;
return;
}
function UserHasRole(roleName)
{
//get Current User Roles, oXml is an object
var oXml = GetCurrentUserRoles();
if(oXml != null)
{
//select the node text
var roles = oXml.selectNodes("//BusinessEntity/q1:name");
if(roles != null)
{
for( i = 0; i < roles.length; i++)
{
if(roles[i].text == roleName)
{
//return true if user has this role
return true;
}
}
}
}
//otherwise return false
return false;
}

I can't figure out how to write this "if statement"

I need to have only the multiple gifts outputted by the names of people that gave the gift.
example: multiple toasters by: jack and jill
heres my code: thanks for the help. My loop works but not my ending if statement. confused...
<script type="text/javascript">
var guest = "yes"
var gift, side, yourName, kind, groomNameAccum, brideNameAccum;
var toaster, silverware, stemware, giftType;
var noGift = 0;
var groomCounter = 0;
var brideCounter = 0;
kind = parseInt(kind);
//initalizing loop
weddingGift = "yes"
//start loop
while (guest == "yes") {
side = prompt("Which side are you on? groom or bride?", "")
yourName = prompt("Whats your name?", "");
kind = prompt("What kind of gift?", "");
if (side == "groom") {
groomCounter = groomCounter + 1;
if (groomCounter == 1) {
groomNameAccum = "Groom side: <br>" + groomCounter + ". " + yourName + ": " + kind;
} else {
groomNameAccum = groomNameAccum + "<br>" + groomCounter + ". " + yourName + ": " + kind;
}
} else
if (side == "bride") {
brideCounter = brideCounter + 1;
if (brideCounter == 1) {
brideNameAccum = "<p>Bride side: <br>" + brideCounter + ". " + yourName + ": " + kind;
} else {
brideNameAccum = brideNameAccum + "<br>" + brideCounter + ". " + yourName + ": " + kind;
}
}
if (kind > 1) {
giftType = toaster + silverware + stemware;
} else {
giftType = noGift;
}
guest = prompt("Are there anymore guests?", "yes");
}
document.write(groomNameAccum);
document.write(brideNameAccum);
document.write("<p>Multiples Toasters by:<br>" + giftType + yourName + "<br/>");
document.write("Multiples Silverware by:<br>" + gift + "<br/>");
document.write("Multiples Stemware by:<br>" + gift);
// -->
</script>

If kind should be an integer then there should be parseInt before if (kind > 1) {
kind = parseInt(kind);
if (kind > 1) {
giftType = toaster + silverware + stemware;
} else {
giftType = noGift;
}
Or simply
kind = parseInt(prompt("What kind of gift?", ""));
Because promt returns a string or null.

Here in the popup for "What kind of gift?" we are entering some text for that. If you are doing parseInt(kind) but its value is text only. So in java script you are not able do any operation between two different types like (int and text). So the last if condition for if(kind > 1) is not executing.

Converting firefox javascript to IE javascript

I've been trying to get some AJAX code that runs fine in FireFox to run in IE.
I'm running into some trouble with updating some tables in the script though. I've seen numerous other people have similar issues, but none of the solutions they've found have worked for me. The problem occurs first on the line
qe3Table.innerHTML =
"<tr>\n" +
" <th>Name</th>\n" +
" <th>Status</th>\n" +
" <th>View Status</th>\n" +
"</tr>\n";
Where I'm getting the error "'null' is null or not an object"
I'm pretty sure that all of my other errors are of the same type as this one, my AJAX script and some accompanying javascript is below.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
//obtains the box address for a QE3 on the system for the given index
function getQE3BoxAddressHash(index)
{
var retVal = 0x00000100; //initial value for QE3 boxes
retVal |= (index & 0x000000FF);
return retVal;
}
//obtains the box address for a QED on the system for the given index
function getQEDBoxAddressHash(index)
{
var retVal = 0x00001300; //initial value for QED boxes
retVal |= ((index & 0x0000000F) << 4);
retVal |= ((index & 0x000000F0) >> 4);
return retVal;

The problem is probably with:
var qe3Table = document.getElementById("QE3_TABLE");
If you're running this script before the body is loaded, that won't exist. Check to see if that variable has anything in it.

I Tried both of your guys' fixes but they didn't seem to help. In the end, I converted all calls of the form:
qe3TableNew.innerHTML = ("<tr>\n" +" <th>Name</th>\n" +" <th>Status</th>\n" +" <th>View Status</th>\n" +"</tr>\n");
to
var row;
var cell;
var text;
var font;
row = document.createElement("tr");
qe3TableNew.appendChild(row);
cell = document.createElement("th");
row.appendChild(cell);
text = document.createTextNode("Name");
cell.appendChild(text);
cell = document.createElement("th");
row.appendChild(cell);
text = document.createTextNode("Status");
cell.appendChild(text);
cell = document.createElement("th");
row.appendChild(cell);
text = document.createTextNode("View Status");
cell.appendChild(text);
This seemed to solve it, so I believe it has to do with IE's inability to handle changes to innerHTML.
Thanks for the help guys.

At least one issue (which could produce the above symptoms) is the line:
window.onload=init();
Hint: the () operator executes the function immediately and evaluates to the return value. This in turn may allow the XHR handler (in certain situations) to fire at a time when the DOM may not be ready.
Happy coding.

Adding javascript loops into SQL database

What i am trying to achieve is adding the javascript loops and the named variables into an sql database, some of them are already added to an external script so work fine however some which i have named in the SQL script at the bottom still need adding, however as the database won't accept a colon ":" they won't enter it and is returning an error, looking at the code at the bottom with replace function im sure you can see what i am trying to achieve but failing miserably, help is much appreciated!

This bit of code looks extremely dubious.

var q = "UPDATE SELECT practice REPLACE ('isNaN', ':', 'isNull')"
alert(prac_timefrom);
rs.open(q, conn);
you should use parameterised queries to avoid SQL injection. Additionally even without any deliberate SQL injection attempts this code will fail if any of the form fields contain the ' character.
You are assigning to the variable q twice and aren't executing the result of the first assignment. (And declaring it twice actually?!)
There is no syntax such as UPDATE SELECT it would need to be something like UPDATE practice SET SomeColumn = REPLACE (SomeColumn, 'isNaN', 'isNull') presumably except see 4 and 5.
I'm not clear what the Replace is meant to be doing anyway. What are the 3 parameters you have given it?
It would be better to do the Replace on the value before inserting into the database rather than inserting it wrong then updating it to the new value.
