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

Answer 1

Try this instead:

$('#myLabel')
    .html('this is my first line<br/>This should be my second line.');

Answer 2

text() will escape any html code, so instead use html()

$("#myLabel").html("This is my first line <br /> This should be my second line.");

Answer 3

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 <br/> This should be my second line.');

Hope this helps. Cheers
