\n is not creating a new line between text in javascript

Question

I have a piece of JavaScript that is supposed to update a in my HTML:

var StringContent = ({
    \"a\": \'Some String a\',
    \"b\": \'Some string b\',
            


        

Answer 1

for innerHTML you need '
'

document.getElementById("overlaycontent").innerHTML = (
    StringContent.a + '
' +
    StringContent.b + '
' +
    StringContent.c
    )

but for an alert you can use : String.fromCharCode(10) instead of '\n'

alert(
    StringContent.a + String.fromCharCode(10) +
    StringContent.b + String.fromCharCode(10) +
    StringContent.c
    )
