Multiple lines when using jQuery's .html method

Question

I would like to have multiple lines when I use jQuery's html method, like this:

$("#someID").html("     <h1>Headline 1</h1>     <h1>Headline 2</h1>     "); 

However this snippet of code does not work. Is there a way to use multiple lines when using jQuery's html method?

Answer 1

use \ to escape new line chars.

$("#someID").html("\     <h1>Headline 1</h1>\     <h1>Headline 2</h1>\     ");
