There is no such jQuery function. Fortunately, JavaScript the language itself provides use with String.replace().
Use like this: var multiline_string = "Hello\nWorld\n!\n"; multiline_string = multiline_string.replace("\n", "<br>"); alert(multiline_string); // output: Hello<br>World<br>!<br> HTH, Rick On Sep 18, 6:03 pm, Mike Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Are there any jquery functions that can take a text value and convert > any newlines to <br> tags?
