Rails text area saved to database then display

I have a text area that a user can type in then with a button what they typed gets displayed. When they add spaces I get in error in the JavaScript though because its all not on the same line. Is there a way I can save the text with the html formatting such as /n?

$(button).click(function(){
    $(DisplayUserTextArea).html('<p> <%= @user.TextArea %> </p>');
});

This what happens when it runs on the site and its getting an error here because its spaced out.

$(button).html('<p> Test Text


TESTTTTTTT</p>');
