Carriage return / new line / br are not working when inserting text.

hey there!

 

i have inside loop , pull strings array

 

 

mydefs +=  unescape(across[i][0]);

mydefs +=  '\r';

 

//this works (shows text carriage returns)

alert(mydefs);

 

 

//this not working @ (shows text together)

sym.$('across_txt').text(mydefs);

 

 

any clue? tried .html(mydefs); , not working.

 

thanks. adrian.

adrian-

 

remember goes html() tag actual html, means carriage return means nothing.  try encasing text in <p></p> tags or insert <br /> tag instead.

 

hope helps!
