Inserting line breaks between characters

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 30.2009

I want to create some vertical text that I want to display. I have a string and what I want to do is create an new string with a line break between each character from the original string then use that to display on the page as vertical text. What I am stuck on is how to get the line break between each character. Any help would be appreciated.

or

I think you have to create a <br> element by doing something like...

document.createElement('br') and inserting it into the document between the 2 strings.

I want a line break between each character in the string. My dificulty is getting the line break '/n' between each character.

Well, you could do something like this to get every character within the string.

[CODE]for (var x=0; x<str.length; x++) {
alert(str.charAt(x));

}[/CODE]

@CharlesJul 01.2009 — alert (str.replace (/(.)/g, '$1n')

Code:

for (var x=0; x<str.length; x++) {

document.write(str.charAt(x));

document.write("<br>");

}

Success!
