I'm doing something very similar to the stackoverflow question preview only much more basic.

user types in text area -> keyup shows what they've typed in preview

new lines aren't working

    $('input, textarea').keyup(function(){        
            var value = $this.attr('value').replace('\n', '<br />').replace('\r', '<br />');
            $('p.preview').html(value);
    })
