Javascript Value Replace for Multiple Values

I am trying to replace multiple values in a string with JS replace(). The values that I want to replace include line breaks, &, #, etc... I know how to replace one value:

var string = document.getElementById('string').value.replace(\/n/g, '<br>');

However, what is the syntax to include other values. For example, how can I make the below replace functions one function?

var string = document.getElementById('string').value.replace(\/n/g, '<br>')
var string = document.getElementById('string').value.replace('&', '%26');

You could chain it simply.

var string = document.getElementById('string').value.replace(/\n/g, '<br>').replace('&', '%26');
