FireFox and \t

[McKirahan]

Doesn't FireFox support "\t" (tab)?

<script type="text/javascript">
alert("1 2\n3 4\n5\t6");
</script>

The above is not displayed correctly under FF.

Is there a work around? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it recognizes that in a string literal.

Unfortunately white space in alerts is collapsed, that is known
bug/problem in Firefox.
