[Break On This Error]

…agram/instagrams/index/content” class=”tag_replace”>#content”).append(html)

jquery….min.js (line 11, col 63)

If you must write JS code dynamically using PHP, put the relevant variable on a line of its own so you can separate out problems with that from problems with your JS code.

You can also take advantage of the function parameter version of .html():

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#content').html(function(index, old) {
        var root = "<?php echo $this->webroot ?>";
        var match = /#([a-zA-Z1-9]{1,})/gi;

        return old.replace(match, '<a href="' + root + 'instagram/instagrams/index/$1" class="tag_replace">#$1</a>');
    });
});
