jQuery html() not outputting line breaks

[DanRz]

Hey,

I have the following jQuery line... it gets the object noteInfo and displays it into a modal. Works great! However, it doesn't seem to output the line breaks, I just get a big chunk of text. Any ideas would be amazing.

jQuery Line

$("#viewNoteModal .modal-body").html(obj.noteInfo);

Console output

noteInfo: "This is a note\r↵Sent: 26 September 2022 12:56"

EDIT - I have worked this out. It was a bug in the code that outputted the text.

HTML ignore whitespace.

Try .text() instead of .html().

Or substitute <br> for \r
