try to use an escape character for the closing td in your expression

var replaced = $("body").html().replace(/<td>YES<\/td>/g,'<span class="yes"></span>');
$("body").html(replaced);

Consider:

$("td").filter(function() {
    return $(this).text() === 'YES';
}).replaceWith('<span class="yes"></span>');

This finds all the td elements and filters for the ones with YES as the only contents and the replaces them.
