How do I put a break in JavaScript?

Question

I have a <input> in html and a document.getelementbyid() in JavaScript, and I can't figure out how to put a <br> in the document.getelementbyid() so it will show up in the <input>

Answer 1

@Punderful20 Quack,
Apparently the only option to have multiple lines input was by using textarea, and indeed "\n" will turn into a line break in textarea. One more thing is that you named your function with a keyword (break), I recommend you to change the function name, and use textarea instead of input.

Can you link your code with the question? it will help others to understand the question if they can see your code : )

Answer 3

You could do something like:

var el = document.getElementById("myElement");
var br = document.createElement("br");

el.appendChild(break);

^Maybe that's what you're asking? Honestly, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you're asking. What exactly are you trying to do? You want to print <br> inside of the box but not break a line? You're wanting to add a <br> after the input?

Try to explain it a bit further and I'll be happy to help.

Answer 4

I tried some random stuff and the answer is "\n"
