with \\n. I\'m trying to move text from div to textarea, but don\'t want

Answer 1

var str = document.getElementById('mydiv').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('mytextarea').innerHTML = str.replace(//gi, "\n");

or using jQuery:

var str = $("#mydiv").html();
var regex = //gi;
$("#mydiv").html(str.replace(regex, "\n"));

edit: added i flag

edit2: you can use /]*>/gi which will match anything between the br and slash if you have for example
