Question

Example I’ve this code:

<div class="description"> I make you smile. </div>

Transformed to:

<div class="description"> I make you think. </div>

Note: “smile” was replaced to “think”

How can I replace it, using javascript jQuery? It’s possible to change several words?

Answer 1

var ele = $("div.description");                     //Let ele be target element
ele.html(ele.html().replace(/smile/gi,"think"));    //Replace the word in string,
                                                    // then put it back in.

.replace: MDN
