How to put line break while showing error message using jquery ?
below is my code.

for(var i in testids)
{
singid= singid+testids[i]+", ";
}

$("#errmsg").text(singid);

i want to display ids in separate lines, ie instead of comma as a separator i want to put line break.
i tried
singid= singid+testids[i]+"
";
singid= singid+testids[i]+"\n";
singid= singid+testids[i]+"\b";
singid= singid+testids[i]+"
";
