title: Replace all <br> tag with space in javascript
body: <p>Having trouble with very simple thing, 
  How to properly replace all <code>&lt; br&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> in the string with the empty space?</p>
  
  <p>This is what I'm trying to use, but I'm receiving the same string.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var finalStr = replaceAll(replaceAll(scope.ItemsList[i].itemDescr.substring(0, 27), "&lt;", " "), "br&gt;", " ");
  function replaceAll(str, find, replace) {
      return str.replace(new RegExp(find, 'g'), replace);
  }
  </code></pre>
