Google Maps API InfoWindow

Question

So, I have this problem with trying to make the content within my infoWindow multi-lined. I assumed this would work:

var custContent = customer.Name + '\n' + customer.Address1 + ", " + customer.Locality;
infoWindow.setContent(custContent);

However, much to my chagrin, it does not. The newline character doesn't do anything. It's all just put on one line. Does anyone know how to do this?

Solution 1

According to the online docco here[^], infoWindow.setContent takes any HTML. So, use <br> instead of '\n'.

Yeah, I figured it out yesterday and forgot to come answer the question. I just had to use "<br>" and it worked.
