jQuery append text in but in a new line

Question

I am trying to append a new line using this this code. I have tried \n and only \ but no solution. What can I do now?

function infC(name) {
    jQuery("#dialog").text(information_by_equipment[name][1]).append(information_by_equipment[name][2]);
    event.stopPropagation();
}

Answer 1

The .append() appends HTML. You need to use <br /> :

jQuery("#dialog")
  .text(information_by_equipment[name][1])
  .append("<br />" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);

Answer 2

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#dialog").append((information_by_equipment[name][1] + "<br>" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);
});

This should solve your problem. Simply add a <br> to enter a new line between your "lines".

Answer 3

If the above solutions are not working try this one.

jQuery("#dialog")
  .text(information_by_equipment[name][1])
  .append("
" + information_by_equipment[name][2]);
