Practical .NET

Which is better?

This:

<AjaxMethod()> _
Public Function GetString() as String
   return "The String"
End Function

<Script>
  function getTheStringCallback(res) {
    document.write("<table><tr><td>" + res.value + "</td></tr></table>");
    }
</Script>

Or This:

<AjaxMethod()> _
Public Function GetString() as String
    Return "

The String

"
End Function

<SCRIPT>
  function getTheStringCallback(res) {
    document.write(res.value);
      }
</SCRIPT>

When writing AJAX code, do you build the output JavaScript side, or Server Side?  I prefer Server Side.  (I'm more familiar with VB than JS).  Maybe I'm just lazy.
