javascript - html() & text() ignoring \n and <br /> -


i don't understand why happening, got description of app google play store, in form of json, using jquery add description div, instead of printing is, gives block of paragraph , ignores \n or <br /> tag.

var description = json.description; alert(description); 

when alert description, shown above, there proper paragraph format next line[\n] included want it, when add required div either html() or text(), ignores next line \n

$('#appname').html(description);

i tried replace next line
tags, still result same, don't know why

var test = description.replace(/\s\n+/g, '<br />'); $('#appname').html(description) 

try this

var test = description.replace(/\n/g, '<br />'); $('#appname').html(test ); 

your regex not work if there no white space before newline character. dont need put + /g replace new line characters.
