Replace word in in using jquery

Question

I have a document with the following structure:

This is some text.


         


        

Answer 1

This is an overkill but anyway:

function replaceNodeText() {
    if (this.nodeType === 3) {
        this.nodeValue = this.nodeValue.replace(replaceNodeText.find, replaceNodeText.replace);
    } else {
        $(this).contents().each(replaceNodeText);
    }
}
replaceNodeText.find = "some";
replaceNodeText.replace = "my";
$("#notice").contents().each(replaceNodeText);

This function will preserve any html present inside the specified element. For example it will work on this HTML:

    
This is
some text.
    
This is so
me text.
    
This is some text.

And produce the following output:

    
This is
my text.
    
This is so
me text.
    
This is my text.
