[Zope-dev] Zope newbie question

Within my dtml, I am retrieving a text field from a database and passing this field to a javascript function. However, the text field can be any length of characters and dtml keeps cutting the text off at no pre-set limit making it impossible to pass this field to javascript. The javascript is going to take this text and pop it up in another window for the user to read. I checked the html source and everything looks fine, but when I execute it gives an "unterminated string" error. Could Zope be causing this? Bryan
