This is what I'm working with:

function calendarDate ( )
{
  var this_weekday_name_array = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
  var this_month_name_array = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")      //predefine month names
    
  var this_date_timestamp = new Date()    
  var this_weekday = this_date_timestamp.getDay()    
  var this_date = this_date_timestamp.getDate()    
  var this_month = this_date_timestamp.getMonth()    

  document.getElementById("calendar").firstChild.nodeValue = this_weekday_name_array[this_weekday] + ", " + this_month_name_array[this_month] + " " + this_date  //concat long date string
}

</script> 

Now, I'm trying to add a line break on the concat data string, but it's not seem to working... I've tried everything I could think of, including making a new variable and calling that up in between the data calls, but its not working:

function calendarDate ( )
{
  var this_weekday_name_array = new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")
  var this_month_name_array = new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December")      //predefine month names
    
  var this_date_timestamp = new Date()    
  var this_weekday = this_date_timestamp.getDay()    
  var this_date = this_date_timestamp.getDate()    
  var this_month = this_date_timestamp.getMonth()
  var newLine = <br/>;    

  document.getElementById("calendar").firstChild.nodeValue = this_weekday_name_array[this_weekday] + newLine + this_month_name_array[this_month] + " " + this_date  //concat long date string
}

</script> 

I've tried <BR/>, \n, \\n, \r\n, all the &#____; commands... Nothing is working. Can anyone help?
