if replace values

var descriptionval = desc.replace('<div>', '-').replace('</div>', '-');

it replace first div

1-2</div><div>3</div><div>4</div>

how replace div?

you have use regular expressions replace. can use replace function global flag g. checkout following solution:

var descriptionval = desc.replace(/<div>/g, '-').replace(/<\/div>/g, '-');

working example:

var str = "1<div>2</div><div>3</div><div>4</div>";  str = str.replace(/<div>/g, '-').replace(/<\/div>/g, '-');  document.write(str);

with simple string replace, example, first occurance of each replace function replaced:

var str = "1<div>2</div><div>3</div><div>4</div>";  str = str.replace('<div>', '-').replace('</div>', '-');  document.write(str);
