In the controller I just added again the double \ @value = det.last[i].gsub!(/\n/, '\\n') @value = det.last[i].gsub!(/\r/, '\\r') Then @value can be used in the view and the line breaks stay in place. No JS error and no need to do any CGI::escape to keep them anymore. And no problems with accents since I don't use CGI::escape anymore.
