Line break in JavaScript?

Question

I dont know why I cannot make a line break in my javascript. Here is the code:

document.write('It\'s ' + n + ',\n'+'SORRY, WE \'RE CLOSED');

---

Thanks,

Answer 1

That function will output HTML, so create line breaks by adding <br />, not \n.

document.write('It\'s ' + n + ',<br />SORRY, WE \'RE CLOSED');

However, you shouldn't really be using document.write(): Why is document.write considered a "bad practice"?

A better option is document.body.innerHTML or document.createElement().

Works for me.

<span style="white-space:pre">
<script>
var n = 10;
document.write('It\'s ' + n + ',\n'+'SORRY, WE\'RE CLOSED');
</script>
</span>
