How to build javascript string so vbScript Split will split it back apart into an array?

Question

Do I need Carriage Returns (not familiar with it)? Currently this is how my JavaScript string is being built:

allcars = cars + makes;

Unfortunately, when I get to my Split function call (that I rather should not change), it does not split my JavaString back apart into an array:

CarsList = Split(Request("allcars"),vbCrLf)

When the Split function call gets string coming from a different source, it splits such string correctly (unlike with string from my JavaScript function).

What is the content of cars? What is the content of makes? What result do you expect after the split? Please provide examples. — Ansgar Wiechers

cars and makes are simple strings of characters. I expect them form an array after split. and I do not want to insert any splitter symbols. Wiktor's solutions fulfills my needs. — Tom S

What you're trying to do doesn't work without inserting a delimiter. If you use CR-LF as that delimiter or some other character (or character sequence) doesn't matter, as long as this character or character sequence doesn't appear elsewhere in your strings. — Ansgar Wiechers

The vbCrLf constant represents a sequence of CR (carriage return, \r) and LF (line feed, \n) symbols. So, use

allcars = cars + "\r\n" + makes;
