I am reading data from an html file to load into a div. The problem I am having is, the program that writes the html files is converting
to <br />

SO when I execute $('#items').load('/News/list.aspx');

it displays
as a string on my page instead of reading it as a page break.

I have tried to read the above file into a variable to do a string replace on the <br /> but it doesn't seem to work.

Any suggestions?
