如何使用.val（）将textarea换行符插入生成的文件

Question

I would like to download content of textarea into file but also remain linebreaks.

I was doing it with .html() function, but then I needed to be able to edit the textarea, so I used .val() to insert values to textarea. It worked fine, but after the change .html() doesn't read the content, only val() does. But the file that it downloads doesn't contain linebreaks that are necessary for the purpose.

Content of textarea is being set through for-loop with adding "\\n" at each line end.

I am using filerSaver.js for downloading files

var content = $( '#cdr_container' ).val();

var blob = new Blob([content], {
    type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"
});

saveAs(blob, filename);

I need to get those linebreaks into file as well. Is there any work around? Thank you for help.

Solved by a simply adding this in front of text declaration

$.valHooks.textarea = {
    get: function( elem ) {
        return elem.value.replace( /\r?\n/g, "\r\n" );
    }
};

Here is the issue described
