Write JavaScript code on a Notes form, with a Notes computed-for-display multi-value field embedded within the lines of the javaScript such that the JavaScript sees the Notes formula result as JavaScript code. Don't forget to mark it all as pass-thru HTML.

In the Notes field, use a newline separator, and write the following formula:

"s = s+'" + NotesListValue + "~';"

On the form, place the following JavaScript:

var s = "";
>>>>>> NOTES_FIELD_GOES_HERE <<<<<<<
s = s.substring(1, s.length);
var myArray = s.split("~"); //splits out the string into array values NS3+, MSIE4+ only

Results in JavaScript that looks like this...

var s = "";

s = s+'Data1~';

s = s+'Data2~';

s = s+'Data3~';

s = s.substring(1, s.length);

var myArray = s.split("~"); //splits out the string into array values!!! NS3+, MSIE4+ only
