How to break line in JavaScript?

Question

Please let me know how to break line in JavaScript.

Answer 1

alert("I will get back to you soon\nThanks and Regards\nSaurav Kumar");

or %0D%0A in a url

Answer 2

Add %0D%0A to any place you want to encode a line break on the URL.

• %0D is a carriage return character
• %0A is a line break character

This is the new line sequence on windows machines, though not the same on linux and macs, should work in both.

If you want a linebreak in actual javascript, use the \n escape sequence.

onClick="parent.location='mailto:er.saurav123@gmail.com?subject=Thanks for writing to me &body=I will get back to you soon.%0D%0AThanks and Regards%0D%0ASaurav Kumar'

Answer 3

I was facing the same problem. For my solution, I added br enclosed between 2 brackets < > enclosed in double quotation marks, and preceded and followed by the + sign:

+"<br>"+

Try this in your browser and see, it certainly works in my Internet Explorer.

Answer 4

Here you are ;-)

<script type="text/javascript">
    alert("Hello there.\nI am on a second line ;-)")
</script>
