Question

I’m trying to create a line break in the html page after data is received from the server, using append method. This is a snippet of my code (jquery):

ws.onmessage = function(evt) $("#display").append("message: " + evt.data);

This is the div in the html:

<div id ="display"></div>

I’m a newbie, so please forgive the simplicity of the question.

Thanks

try this:

ws.onmessage = function(evt) $("#display").append("message: " + evt.data + "<br />");

another option could be

ws.onmessage = function(evt) $("#display").append("<p>message: " + evt.data + "</p>");
