Get the viewbag break line data in the textarea property

Raja Priya Meganathan

Hi all,

I have the textarea property like,

I stored the data in the database. When I retrive the data, the value is like "test\ntest\n\ntest" because in textarea I gave the line break and saved the data. Now I get this data in the viewbag like "test\ntest\n\ntest" and then I try to set it in the textarea using jquery. In that, the given viewbag value was get as separated as shown in the below image.

How to get the viewbag value as it is in the jquery and display it as with the line break?

You don't need Jquery, MVC is smart enough to display the HTML as Html. You can use Html.Raw("Html content here")
class="form-control" id="txtnotes" rows="5" placeholder="Enter ..." Value="@Html.Raw(ViewBag.Text)">

Hi all,

I checked this, I set the viewbag value with Replace like,

ViewBag.Notes = customer.Notes.Replace("\n","
"); //c#

And get the viewbag value in the jquery to display this value in the textarea property,

$("#txtnotes").val("@ViewBag.Notes "); //jquery

This txtnotes value set as below value. It have instead of line break. How I get this value back with line break in the textarea.

$("#txtnotes").val("test app test");

Answer:
now I get is: test app test

But I want like this,

test
app

test
