show text in the next line

vikas_gopal — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:56:06 GMT

Hello Everyone,
Using javascript I am showing some text in a read only text box, now I want to add another line to this box .In java script I used

 var value1 = "Month End Closure Report" + " - " + n + "  " + yyyy ; //here n is month name
 var value2 = "hello" + " - " + p + "  " + yyyy ;   //here p is day name 
 var value3= value1 +'\n' + value2;
 document.getElementById('text1').value =value3;
 alert(value3);

Alert shows correct data (I mean hello-Sun2014 in the next line)e.g.
"Month End Closure Report - March2014
hello-Sun2014"

Problem:- text box which I designed in simplexml is not showing Hello string in the next line.It appears in a single line like "Month End Closure Report - March2014 hello-Sun2014".

 <html >
  <input type ="text"  id = "text1" value= "" readonly="readonly" textmode="multiline"  />

  </html>

Please suggest what is missing..?

Check out this post.

Basically you need to replace '\r' with

thanks for the quick response
I replaced r with br but it won't work, now it's like
var value3= value1 +'
' + value2;
How I can type replace command in the existing code..?

again same result it's appearing fine in the alert but not in the text box .Seems like some property of text box restricting it.

I normally use http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp for multiple line text boxes

@aelliott Thanks for your time..
It works fine with textarea but I was having problem with the text alignment so I used label and it works fine..thanks again
