I'm trying to replace new lines in java script to <br>'s. But...

$(this).html($(this).text().replace(/(\n|\r)/gm, "<br>"));

and the others function like this one replaced first line too. So I'm getting formatted text with enters at the start. Example

<br> (?) <br> (?) Text <br>

How to solve this issue ? 

$(".class").each(function(){ $(this).html($(this).text().replace(/\\n/g, "<br/>")); });

You may need to remove the leading '\n' from the string, like this: 

$(".class").each(function() { $(this).html( $(this).text().trim('\n').replace(/\n/g, "<br/>") ); });
