Div String replacement using RegEx

Question

Hi I am using the following code :

breakContent = breakContent.replace(/<div>/g, ' <div>');

Here breakContent is a string that contains html code. I need to provide space before div tag.The above code works fine for div without any attribute like id, style,etc...

So what I need is the working code including attributes in div tag...

I tried the below code..but it does not give space before div and instead it replace the div with space

 breakContent = breakContent.replace(/<div\s*[\/]?>/gi, " ");

Just change it to:

breakContent = breakContent.replace(/<div/g, ' <div');

Removing the trailing > will allow for <div> tags with attributes.

EDIT: Of course, this could pick up text that isn't actually a <div> tag, if you have text matching <div that isn't a tag.
