The newline character is \n in JavaScript and many other languages. All you need to do is add \n character whenever you require a line break to add a new line to a string.
Basic HTML Line Break Syntax You can insert line breaks in HTML with the <br> tag, which is equivalent to a carriage return on a keyboard. Be aware that HTML will ignore any line break from a keyboard's return key.
\n is the linefeed character literal (ASCII 10) in a Javascript string. <br/> is a line break in HTML.
I have a code where it saves multiple textarea values in a text file. However, it does not display the line breaks I indicated after saving it. It only identifies the line breaks w/c are manually put within the textarea. Below is the code. Please help.
<script>
var TestVar = new Array();
var i = 0;
function save()
{
TestVar[i] = document.getElementById("text1").value + "\n" + document.getElementById("text2").value;
mydoc = document.open();
mydoc.write(TestVar);
mydoc.execCommand("saveAs",true,"TicketID.txt");
mydoc.close();
}
</script>

<form id=formtest>
<textarea name="textarea" id="text1"></textarea>
<textarea name="textarea" id="text2"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="save" onclick="save()">
