I'm trying to replace substrings. The substitution is entered in an input box. The thing is that I am unable to insert n via the input box.
So this does not work
var val = document.getElementById('val').innerHTML;
var replacement = document.getElementById('replaceWith').value
val.innerHTML = val.innerHTML.replace(reg, replacement + '$&');
But this does work
var val = document.getElementById('val').innerHTML;
var replacement = document.getElementById('replaceWith').value
val.innerHTML = val.innerHTML.replace(reg, "n" + '$&');
Is there a way to accomplish this?

You need to define a kind of a special newline representation. If you are OK withn, just usereplacement.replace(/\n/g, "n")
