I have the following html
<label>Hello\r\nUsername</label>
<textarea></textarea>
After page load i want to set the content of the label to textarea
normally
$("textarea").val($("label").html()); // or may be $("label").text();
will set the content to the textarea including new lines.It works fine in FF,But not in IE.
It looke like IE is losing the new line info.
How can i solve this ? Please help me.
After a small search on Google I found out that it isn’t possible in IE with a version less then 9 since its a built in problem. Check web.student.tuwien.ac.at/~e0226430/innerHtmlQuirk.html for reference. In all, IE<9 removes all white-space in any DOM element except pre and textarea.
