I know this a repeat question, but I tried a lot of things and none of them worked. Essentially, I have:
var med = word.replace("!", '<br />'); (div.get(0)).textContent = med; Side note: the div has a <p> inside of it and that is what I am changing. Thank you for any advice in advance!
I can't see the whole of your code so I'm not sure what your HTML looks like. Try this code:
var str = jQuery('p').html(); str = str.replace('!', '<br />'); jQuery('p').html(str); There is a jsFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/pavkr/bq8be893/
You could simplify the code but this is basically just to show you how it works.
You have to insert the content as html rather than as text. Do it like this:
var med = word.replace("!", '<br />'); (div.get(0)).innerHtml = med;
