javascriptalert

\n as well as <br> for new line in JavaScript alert not working

I am using a JavaScript alert (a little modified though). This alert has a title field and a content field. In my content field I want to display some text in new line, but neither \n nor <br> is working. See the image to check the output of the given code.

new Attention.Alert({
                title: 'School',
                content: 'Date - '+v_date+'\n School Name - '+ school_name + "\n School City - " + school_city + " "
            });

enter image description here

Solution

  • You just have to add CSS white-space: pre-line; for popup content.

    Here is working Example.

    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $('button').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var v_date = '04/11/2019';
    var school_name = 'School Name';
    var school_city = 'School City';
    new Attention.Alert({
        title: 'This is a Title',
        content: 'Date - '+v_date+'\n School Name - '+school_name+'\n School City - '+school_city
    });
  });
});
    *, *:after, *:before{
	box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
	font-family: 'Open Sans', serif;
	background-color: #d1d8de;
	padding: 20px;    
}
.attention-component .inner-container p{
    white-space: pre-line;
}
