No, Javascript has a continuation character (backslash), but it's not often
required in Javascript because, unlike Python and VB, Javascript is
free-format:

  str = "This is a long long string, " +
        "which I can encode just by " +
        "concatenating a bunch of strings " +
        "on separate lines.";
