html label inserting newline

Question

I\'m trying to set some text to a label dynamically using jQuery. But i can\'t get the
or \\n to render and give me new lines. It all shows

The problem is that .text() will ignore your html. You should use .html(), soy u can put whatever html you want inside an element. So you'd have:

$('#myLabel').html('This is my first line 
 This should be my second line.');

Hope this helps. Cheers
