Preserve newlines when setting html in a div from a textarea - Jquery

Question

I got this little html -:

Answer 1

The new lines are preserved, but not converted to HTML new lines (<BR/>), so they are ignored.

You can convert them to <BR/> with .replace:

$("#copyToDiv").on("click",function(){ $("#viewOne").html( $("#viewTwo").val().replace("\n","<br/>") ) });
