writeln() method

document.writeln(string) will create/write whatever string you specify, whether string is a variable, or a literal.
In theory, writeln is supposed to do a carriage return at the end of the line, but when I tested it, it didn't work right. So if you want to ensure a line break, just use write instead of writeln, and in the write, include the <br /> or <p> tag.

Output:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[

document.write("This uses <strong>writeln</strong>:<br />");
document.writeln("line1");
document.writeln("line2");
document.writeln("line3");

document.write("<br /><br />This uses <strong>write</strong> and &lt;br /&gt;:<br />");
document.write("line1<br />");
document.write("line2<br />");
document.write("line3<br />");
//]]>
</script>
