MadeInGermany is correct, but you probably want to know why:
If you check the HTML source code you produce you will see that indeed there are three lines as Scott said and suggested. HTML source code, though, is not displayed as it is when you display it using a web browser. The browser interprets it and part of this interpretation is to "interpret away" the line breaks.
MadeInGermany just put the HTML equivalent of line breaks (the "<br />" tags) into the text, which will - when interpreted by a web browser - produce line breaks. Notice, that your text will, when showed in a web browser, look the same if you write:
Code:
Var_name="This is first line.<br />
This is second line.<br />
This is third line."
or
Code:
Var_name="This is first line.<br />This is second line.<br />This is third line."
because the "away-interpretation" of real line breaks works both ways: the browser simply ignores them and it will also ignore their absence.
I hope this helps.

/PS: remove the (real) line breaks from your variables content, the browser would ignore them anyway. Their existence is probably the reason why your sed-statement is failing: web browsers ignore line breaks, but sed does not.

echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
