title: New line character "\n" not supported in IE 8 browser
body: <p>I have use the below HTML code snippet to display text, but unable to do so in Internet Explorer 8 version.</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
       &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
       &lt;head&gt;
         &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
            &lt;script src="Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
            &lt;script src="jquery-ui-1.8.20.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
       &lt;/head&gt;
       &lt;body&gt;
         &lt;div&gt;
           &lt;pre id="test"&gt;
           &lt;/pre&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
  
   &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $(document).ready(function () {
          $("#test").html("WELCOME\nHello World")
      });
    &lt;/script&gt;
   &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code snippet works fine as expected in IE's latest versions but “<strong>\n</strong>” is not working in  IE8 version . How to resolve this? Thanks in advance.</p>
