    copied!<p><strong>specs</strong></p> <p>I am working on Linux Mint 14. I started on JavaScript recently and I tried to do some output formatting(printing random numbers, one per line) and as usual used <code>\n</code>. But this does not seem to work.</p> <p>On both the chromium web browser and mozilla firefox, only a space shows up.</p> <p><strong>code</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;HTML&gt; &lt;HEAD&gt; &lt;TITLE&gt; GENERATE RANDOM NUMBERS AND PRINT THEM &lt;/TITLE&gt; &lt;BODY&gt; &lt;div id='container'&gt; &lt;button onclick='startPrinting()'&gt;Generate random numbers &lt;/button&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/BODY&gt; &lt;/HTML&gt; &lt;/HEAD&gt; &lt;script&gt; function startPrinting() { var b = document.getElementById('container'); //b.innerHTML += Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000); b.innerHTML += '&lt;br&gt;The following are some random numbers.&lt;br&gt;'; for(var i =1;i&lt;10;i++) { b.innerHTML += '\n'; b.innerHTML += i + '.' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000); } } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I tried <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> and this worked well. But now I have many files where I have <code>\n</code>.</p> <p>So is there a way that I can tell the script to replace all occurences of <code>\n</code> with <code>&lt;br&gt;</code>?</p> <p>If possible please give an answer that will ensure that i have to add only a few lines of code to my existing files.</p> <p>(I am looking for something like <code>#define</code> in C++)</p> <p><strong>please</strong> help me resolve this issue.</p>
