how to place a <br> in a javascriptfunction?

[Fjodor Klondyke]

hello,

i have a function in javascript. when someone clicks on a link the text in a
layer changes.
i want breaks in the text, in html you would use '<br><br>'.
i tried this in the variable that contains the text but it does not work.

so my question is: how do i get these breaks in the text, so that the text
looks
good in the layer?.

here is my code:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++
function toonSpelregels(spel){
if(spel == 'zappen'){
document.getElementById('spelregels').style.visibi lity =
'visible';
verkort = document.getElementById('spelregels').childNodes[0];
uitleg="blabla........" + "<br><br>" + " blabla....";
verkort.nodeValue=uitleg;
}

.............
.............
}

<div id="spelregels">
</div>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++

thanks,

fjodor

You use br elements.
Plain text has no formatting, so if you want formatting, you need to add
more than just plain text.
var verkort = document.getElementById('spelregels');
verkort.style.visibility="visible";
// clear verkort
while (verkort.hasChildNodes()) {
verkort.removeChild(verkort.lastChild);
}
//insert new nodes
verkort.appendChild(document.createTextNode("blabl a......."));
verkort.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
verkort.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
verkort.appendChild(document.createTextNode("blaba l...."));
