JavaScript RegExp match text ignoring HTML

Question

Is it possible to match \"the dog is really really fat\" in \"The dog is really really fat!\" and add \"

Answer 1

A simpler way with JQuery would be.

originalHtml = $("#div").html();

    newHtml = originalHtml.replace(new RegExp(keyword + "(?![^<>]*>)", "g"), function(e){
                      return "" + e + "";
                   });

$("#div").html(newHtml);

This works just fine for me.
