Use  amp nbsp    It is the entity used to represent a non-breaking space  It is essentially a standard space  the primary difference being that a browser should not break  or wrap  a line of text at the point that this  nbsp  occupies   var a    something      amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp     something    Non-breaking Space  A common character entity used in HTML is the non-breaking space   amp nbsp     Remember that browsers will always truncate spaces in HTML pages  If you write 10 spaces in your text  the browser will remove 9 of them  To add real spaces to your text   you can use the  amp nbsp  character entity   http   www w3schools com html html entities asp  Demo    x000D   x000D  var a    something      amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp  amp nbsp     something   x000D   x000D  document body innerHTML   a  x000D   x000D   x000D

In 2021 - use ES6 Template Literals for this task  If you need IE11 Support - use a transpiler  let a    something       something    Template Literals are fast  powerful and produce cleaner code   If you need IE11 support and you don t have transpiler  stay strong  and use  xa0 - it is a NO-BREAK SPACE char  Reference from UTF-8 encoding table and Unicode characters  you can write as below  var a    something      xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0 xa0     something

You can use the  lt pre gt  tag with innerHTML  The HTML  lt pre gt  element represents preformatted text which is to be presented exactly as written in the HTML file  The text is typically rendered using a non-proportional   monospace   font  Whitespace inside this element is displayed as written  If you don t want a different font  simply add pre as a selector in your CSS file and style it as desired   Ex    var a     lt pre gt something        something lt  pre gt    document body innerHTML   a

With template literals  you can use multiple spaces or multi-line strings and string interpolation  Template Literals are a new ES2015   ES6 feature that allows you to work with strings  The syntax is very simple  just use backticks instead of single or double quotes  let a    something                 something    and to make multiline strings just press enter to create a new line  with no special characters  let a    something                                 something    The results are exactly the same as you write in the string
