New Lines in Javascript

Hi,

I’ve added in some “random quotes” Javascript code into a HTML page, and have been trying to create new lines for each line of a quote that is displayed on the page, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

As far as I know, from what I’ve read,
is used to start a new line… or perhaps I’ve misinterpreted this and all it does is create a new line in the source code.

This is what I have, which isn’t working. The quote displays fine, except it doesn’t format it as Blah Blah Blah as one line after the other,

Can someone tell me what I should be doing?

I would like the first random quote to appear on the page formatted like this:
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah

I hardly ever use Javascript, so I’m not that great at it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

what’s wrong with

r_text[0] = “Blah Blah Blah<br />Blah Blah Blah<br />Blah Blah Blah<br />Blah Blah Blah”;

?

I loathe you. Solving this before I got a crack.

As sekasi stated, using HTML here, instead of
, is your best bet.
is for spaces when it comes to HTML rendering. It will do a space break in the code, though. <br /> renders a break since it is outputting to HTML.

Thanks. I just didn’t know normal HTML <br /> tags could be used. Silly of me. XD
