jquery.html() loads the codeigniter view - only one line file

Question

I'm loading a view, extra.php, into #extra div via jquery command:

$('#extra').html("<?php $this->load->view('extra'); ?>");

extra.php is a long file, and jquery.html() loads only a single line of code

for example, it loads fine:

<table><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr></table>

but it doesn't load at all:

<table>
<tr>....</tr>
<tr>....</tr>
<tr>....</tr>
</table>

How to fix it?

Does it matter if it loads it in one line? I mean, why you display it it will display just fine, or are you planning something else with it? — woutr_be

Is the issue that it will only load the first line, or that it loads the entire page as one line? Are you getting all of the data or is something not getting loaded? — Anthony

if you are wanting closer look at source, do it in a browser console where DOM is all neatly packaged in expandable tree, indentation/formatting in source isn't critical — charlietfl

@charlietfl - That assumes the OP is getting all data, just not tidy via "view source". Is that due to how codeignitor outputs html, or jquery's .html(), or more likely that the extra.php in question is outputting all as one line? Just curious if you know where the minifying is taking place. — Anthony

@Anthony lack of line breaks in php would do it, jquery will retain formatting — charlietfl

You need to escape each line that is output from the view, that way you can pass a multi-line string to the function. To escape, you just need to append a \ to the end of each line so that you would have the following:

$('#extra').html("<table>\
<tr>....</tr>\
<tr>....</tr>\
<tr>....</tr>\
</table>");

You can see it working on jsfiddle.
