Like this:

var str = 'blah blah blah';
str += ' blah';

str += ' ' + 'and some more blah';

it's more of a onclick append to variable. can it be done with a single variable? – Ronal Aug 17 '09 at 14:00
Sure thing. See my other answer below. – James Skidmore Aug 17 '09 at 14:02
@Ronal - if there are any extra bits to your question, you should add them to the question rather than asking within the comments, including any information that might help you get a decent answer. – karim79 Aug 17 '09 at 14:03
