Instead of using substring with a fixed index  you d better use replace        date   html function t       return t replace                  lt span gt  1 lt  span gt  lt br gt          One advantage is that it would still work if the first   is at a different position   Another advantage of this construct is that it would be extensible to more than one elements  for example to all those implementing a class  just by changing the selector   Demonstration  note that I had to select jQuery in the menu in the left part of jsfiddle s window
