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.getEle mentById('spelr egels').style.v isibility =
'visible';
verkort = document.getEle mentById('spelr egels').childNo des[0];
uitleg="blabla. ......." + "<br><br>" + " blabla....";
verkort.nodeVal ue=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.getEle mentById('spelr egels');
verkort.style.v isibility="visi ble";
// clear verkort
while (verkort.hasChi ldNodes()) {
verkort.removeC hild(verkort.la stChild);
}
//insert new nodes
verkort.appendC hild(document.c reateTextNode(" blabla.......") );
verkort.appendC hild(document.c reateElement("b r"));
verkort.appendC hild(document.c reateElement("b r"));
verkort.appendC hild(document.c reateTextNode(" blabal...."));
