line breaks in form element input value

I am trying to add line breaks (aka newlines) to values of the input-element. 
, 
, 
 
 and \n aren't working; still everything is on one line.

I haven't found an answer to this question amongst other questions that solves my problem. Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • The input element does not support line breaks. Use the <textarea> element as shown below:

    <textarea id="multiliner" name="multiliner">line1
line2
line3</textarea>
