Javascript: replace 'g' character

javascript, replace

Solution

Try use `.innerText` instead of `.innerHTML`, like so

var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
var text  = myDiv.innerText || myDiv.textContent || '';

myDiv.innerHTML = text.replace(/g/g, 'a');

// or without variable 
// myDiv.innerHTML = (myDiv.innerText || myDiv.textContent || '').replace(/g/g, 'a');

<div id="myDiv">aaa>aga</div>

Problem

I would like to replace `g` characters on the following innerHTML div: ``` <div id="myDiv">aaa>aga</div> ``` I used ``` var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv'); myDiv.innerHTML = myDiv.innerHTML.replace('g','a'); ``` Unfortunately, this replace also the `>` character by `&at;`. How can I do to avoid this behavior ?
