    var content = "line1<br />";
content += "line2<br />";
content += "line3<br />";
...

document.getElementById("submit").innerHTML = content;
    PHP:
    you can't use whitespace in strings over new lines like you do in PHP.

    Use the <br /> for breaking line in HTML.
    Because HTML won't parse \n to break the line.

    or simply like this:
    var content = 'Text<br>' +
    'Preview<br>' +
    'text<br>' +
