how do you get JavaScript to display the result on a separate line?

I've done the math and all seems to work with the right spacing, but I would love to know how to go down a line, I've tried normal HTML but then it turns out blank xD

The joys of being a newbie

var secondsPerMin = 60;
var minsPerHour = 60;
var hoursPerDay = 24;
var daysPerWeek= 7;
var weeksPerYear = 52;
var secondsPerDay= secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;
document.write('There are '+ secondsPerDay + ' seconds in a day ');
var secondsAlive = 34 * (secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear);
document.write("I've been alive for more then " + secondsAlive + ' seconds');

so as i see you use document. .... so you using JS on website so you need HTML into it :)

add to your JS write BR tag represent Break :) 

<br>

or use P tag why ? P tag is Block LEVEL element :) you learn more by passing HTML or CSS class :)

document.write("<p> TEXT </p>");
document.write("<p> TEXT 2 </p>");

You could also use \n which will create a new line.

example

document.write("\nI've been alive for more then " + secondsAlive + ' seconds'); // noticed the \n at the beginning

With <br> tag. Like this : 

document.write('There are '+ secondsPerDay + ' seconds in a day<br>');

Always inside of the string. Remember when you use an <h1>, <h2>.. or <p> tags, carriage return is included, it's not necessary put a <br> tag at the end. Hope i've help.
