console.log('Hello\nworld'); outputs:
Hello
world
If I write "Hello[ENTER_KEY]world" into a <textarea>, then console.log($('textarea').html()) outputs:
Hello\nworld
How can I convert this so that \n isn't printed but shown as a line break in the console?
Try to use textarea value property as below:
function myFunction(){
console.log(document.getElementById('myTextArea').value);
}<textarea id="myTextArea" onchange="myFunction()"></textarea>Try getting value instead of innerHTML
console.log($('textarea').val());
