Before writing out the HTML using javascript to the page, make sure to replace all the newlines with
tags. Here is a simple extension for string that will allow you to do it using javascript (source):

String.prototype.NewlineToBR = function() {
    return this.replace( /\r\n|\r|\n/g, br || '');
}

Usage:

var htmlString = newlineString.NewlineToBR();

Then just insert the new string into you HTML.
