I want to display all of the user input from and unto a single line (with space between each) when I press a button.
I already have the button working and it does display the user input, but not in the way I want it to.
How it displays:
one
two
three
How I want it to display:
one two three
All I find is how to display python, which I’m not even using. How should my code look like? (Btw, I’m not an expert at JavaScript or anything harder than that; got the JS from somewhere else)

You have <br/> between each entry, which makes them show on separate lines, replace it with a space. And you should never use innerHTML when dealing with user’s input, use textContent instead.
