jqAlert Line Breaks?

I'm being unsuccessful creating an alert with line breaks. I'm new to jQuery so I'm sure I'm missing something simple, which I'm also not finding via web searches.

j开发者_C百科qAlert({ text: 'The item:\n\n ' + item.description + '\n\nhas already been added.', title: 'Duplicate Entry' });

I have also tried using \r.

Replace \n with <br/> and tell me if it worked for you.

You tried using <br />? I would guess that it is actually rendering a html popup.
