Problem with "/n" in Firefox

effendi

I am trying to figure this out.

I have the following fuction, which takes value for a hidden field in a
form and display the values on the browser.

The code work fine except in Firefox/Opera, the values get listed in
one line and in IE every entry is a new line.
This is the code:

function teamProcessDiplayCommon(){
var thisDoc = document.forms[0]
var sep ="~~"
var semi =";"
var blank ="-"
var space =" "
var newLine="\n"

//create variable for display value
var StudentIDs=""
var StudentNames=""

var teamListArray=thisDoc.StudentInfoList.value
var studentNotesNameArray=thisDoc.StudentNotesNameList .value
teamListArray=teamListArray.split(";")
studentNotesNameArray=studentNotesNameArray.split( ";")

for (i=0;i<teamListArray.length;i++){
studentInfoArray=teamListArray[i]
studentInfoArray=studentInfoArray.toString().split (sep)

//set display values

StudentIDs +=trim(studentInfoArray[0]) + newLine
StudentNames +=trim(studentInfoArray[1]) +newLine
}

displayDataArray=new Array ()
displayDataArray[0]=StudentIDs
displayDataArray[1]=StudentNames

displayOrderArray=new Array()
displayOrderArray[0]="StudentIDs"
displayOrderArray[1]="StudentNames"

fDHTMLPopulateFields(displayDataArray, displayOrderArray)
}
I tried changing the "/n" to " " but it didnt work and in fact made
things worse.

Any ideas how I can work around this?
Thank you.

I've always used <br /to start a new line. However, I would suggest not
using a variable for the EOL character.

I tried using " " but it was rendered as a text and not html. hence
was dispayed in the browers. Any ideas?

Marc, are you saying "<pre></pre>" when using <bror just the ouput
usingb "\n"?

With <pre></pre, using "\n" alone works in IE

tags. Do you have any suggestion?

If you want to go with using the <pretags, you could set some properties
of the text with CSS, like:

pre {font-weight:bold}
