[SOLVED] unterminated string literal

[The Little Guy]

I am trying to do a multiline string, like the following:

		opt = "<h2 class=\"red\">Password</h2>\
	<p>\
		Your password is your secret code that allows you to log into your account,\
		this will be accompanied by your email address.\
	</p>\
	<p>\
		The password MUST be:<br />\ 
		no less than 6 characters<br />\
		no more than 10 characters.<br />\
		must have at least 1 number and one alpha character\
	</p>";

 

The problem I am getting is with this section:

			The password MUST be:<br />\ 
		no less than 6 characters<br />\
		no more than 10 characters.<br />\
		must have at least 1 number and one alpha character\
	</p>";

 

I am getting the following error, but I don't know what it means:

Error: unterminated string literal

Source File: http://www.dudeel.com/incl/js/index.js

Line: 33, Column: 8

Source Code:

  The password MUST be:<br />\ 

 

FF's Error Console, has an arrow pointing between the "a" and the "s" in "password".

What do I need to do to fix this??

does anyone know what the problem is or could be?

GOT IT!

it was because I had an extra space at the end of this line:

 

The password MUST be:<br />\
