Line Break on textvar

I have got a text box with some text in and a scroll bar on the side, it all works fine untill i try and put a line break in it…

here is the code:

textvar = “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.”;

var textareaheight=back._height
var linesdisplayed=12
var lineheight=textareaheight/linesdisplayed

scrollbar.setup=function(){
lineheight=_parent.lineheight
linesdisplayed=_parent.linesdisplayed
textareaheight=_parent.textareaheight
top=_y=_parent.border._y
bottom=_parent.border._y+_parent.border._height
calcSize()
}

scrollbar.calcSize=function(){
var totallines=linesdisplayed+_parent.textvar.maxscroll-1
var proportion=linesdisplayed/totallines
_yscale=(linesdisplayed/totallinestextareaheight)>12?(linesdisplayed/totallinestextareaheight):12 // minimum size of bar.
if((_y+_yscale)>bottom){
_y=bottom-_yscale
_parent.textvar.scroll=1+Math.floor(((_y-top)/((bottom-_yscale)-top))*(_parent.textvar.maxscroll))
}
}

scrollbar.scrollchk=function(){
_visible=_parent.textvar.maxscroll>1
calcSize()
if(eval(Selection.getFocus())!=_parent.textvar){
_parent.textvar.scroll=1+Math.floor(((_y-top)/((bottom-_yscale)-top))(_parent.textvar.maxscroll))
}else{
_y=top+((_parent.textvar.scroll-1)/(_parent.textvar.maxscroll-1))
((bottom-_yscale)-top)
}
}

i get three errors back

String literal was not properly terminated
Syntax error.
Expected a field name after ‘.’ operator.

i tried putting <br> in it but it doesnt work… i cant figured it out, can anyone help?

Thanks
