[Frank Jacobsen]

I have a jsf page with this outputText:


<hutputText value="#{FundDetailBB.benchMarkName}" id="_idProfileBenchMarkValue"/>


The string is : "test1/ntest2/ntest3"

But the result on my page is:

test1/ntest2/ntest3

All i want is that the text on my page is test1
test2
test3

in 3 lines....

Any good ideas ?

Hi,
well, probably you were meaning '\n' and NOT '/n'.
Moreover, do you want to get

<br/>test1<br/>test2<br/>test3

or
test1
test2
test3
?

Obviously, as an html page, the output may be different.

[Frank Jacobsen]

I want on 3 lines

test1
test2
test3

byt i dont work with \BR and not with \N

i tried both !

String benchMark = "Test1\ntest2\ntest";
String benchMark1 = "Test1
ntest
ntest";

Gives me one line on the page, and not 3 lines as i want to ops:

Well,

the question is: you see one line on your browser? Or you see one line as html source from your browser?
Moreover, you should try with:

String benchMark = "Test1<br/>Test2<br/>Test3</br>"

In this case, what do you get?

[Bauke Scholtz]

Linebreaks in HTML are to be represented with <br>.
The h:outputText by default escapes HTML/XML.
If you want to display plain HTML using h:outputText, you need to set 'escape' attribute to 'false'.

Ahh, that was the answer that i want, and it works !

Im happy
