.replace() of newline doesn't work with a contenteditable item

I have this simple code:

 <div style="margin-left:10px;">
    <p>
     <a class="btn" href="#" onclick="myFunction()"><i class="icon-link"></i></a>
    </p>
  </div>

  <div style="margin-left:10px;">

    <div id="example-one" >
      <p id="textEditor" contenteditable="true"></p>
    </div> 

  </div>



 <script type="text/javascript">



function myFunction()
{

  // removes <div> from #textEdtor's content
  $("#textEditor>div").replaceWith(function() { return $(this).contents(); }); 

  var str=document.getElementById("textEditor").innerHTML; 

  var n=str.replace(/\n|\r/g, '<br>')

  document.getElementById("textEditor").innerHTML=n;

  alert(n);
}

</script>

The problem is that the var n=str.replace(/\n|\r/g, '<br>') doesn't work when user press enter. Although it works very well if i use this .replace(/\[b\]/g,'<b>').replace(/\[\/b\]/g,'</b>')

It only adds a <br> only if you press twice the enter.

Is there any way to fix this issue ?

Thank you.

The problem is in removing child <div> elements. Replace your code with the one below, and everything should work fine:

function myFunction() {
    $("#textEditor > div").before("<br />").contents().unwrap();
}
