myList contains the following values:

value1
value2
value3

function showArray() {
  var txt = $("#myList").text();
  var textread = txt.split('\n');

  var msg = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < textread .length; i++) {
    msg += i + ": " + textread [i] + "\n";
  }
  alert(msg);
}

my alert gives me the following:

0:value1
value2
value3

It`s not what I wanted and expecting, I was expecting something like:

0: value1
1: value2
2: value3

How can I get the values as expected?
