How do I get a CR/LF when setting textContent?

Question

How do I get a CR/LF when setting textContent? I've tried a couple things (below) but these do not work. The \\r\\n has no effect, the <br /> is displayed literally.

document.getElementById("lbResult").textContent = "\r\nmyID"
document.getElementById("lbResult").textContent = "<br />myID"

Answer 1

You can't, as far as I know. You can do it with innerHTML though:

document.getElementById("lbResult").innerHTML = "<br />myID";
