Using JS to utilize line breaks in a text area

I am trying to write a 'quiz' to help my German class study for tests, and I have JS to generate a random vocabulary question. If they enter the wrong answer, I want it to list both the German word (in one textarea) and the English equivilant (in another next to it). I have everything working except one thing...I can't insert a line break in the textarea after each word, I have to add a comma and a space so all the words they missed read out like a list...that's not bad, but it would be better if each word (or phrase) was on a seperate line in each of their respective textareas. Can somebody tell me how to store a string in a variable with line breaks? (for instance, I want to say that
var document.forma.textarea1.value=
item1
item2
item3

with line breaks like that.

I know this is an incredibly confusing message, so here's the address of the page I'm working on...

If you have any ideas, please e-mail me at [email protected] or post a reply here. Thanks!

By the way...when you open the above link, the quiz automatically starts...just incorrectly answer 2 or 3 questions, then when it asks you if you want to continue, click cancel, then you can maximize and examine the page. Thanks again.
