How to convert comma separated text in div into separate lines with JavaScript?

Javascript Web Development Object Oriented Programming

Let’s say the following is our comma separated text in div −

<div class="commaSeparated">
This,is,the,first,JavaScript,program
</div>

To convert comma separated text into separate lines, you need to use trim() along with split() on the basis of comma(,).

Example

Live Demo

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="commaSeparated">
This,is,the,first,JavaScript,program
</div>
</form>
<script>
   var allTheData = document.querySelector('.commaSeparated').textContent.trim().split(',')
   var separateList = '<ul>'
   allTheData.forEach(function(value) {
      separateList += '<li>' + value + '</li>';
   });
   separateList += '</ul>';
   document.querySelector(".commaSeparated").innerHTML = separateList;
</script>
</body>
</html>

To run the above program, save the file name “anyName.html(index.html)” and right click on the file. Select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
