How to write newline using jquery?
<p>There is a formatted txt file that my java program reads and sends over the contents as a string to front-end.
The string that is sent to front end looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>var result = "This is the result.\nIt contains some details\n\nDetails are as follows\nabc,xyz"
</code></pre>

<p>In the frontend, This data must be written to a div in the following format:</p>

<pre><code>This is the result.
It contains some details

Details are as follows
abc,xyz
</code></pre>

<p>Using the following code did not work:</p>

<pre><code>$("#divId).html(result);
</code></pre>

<p>Alternates like val(), text() did not work either. 
How can I make the browser write the new lines in the div when displaying the result?</p>
