js regexp mobile browsers

Question

I have the following HTML code and am trying to get data using RegExp. This does not work in mobile browsers.

var JSON:

 <div class="comment_item right">
<div class="comment_author_wrap">
    <div class="comment_author">
    </div>
</div>
    <p mid="1369">fdsfds
    </p>

Variable json is the response from the server.

Regexp:

 msg = json;
 var regexp = /<p(.*?)<\/p>/gms;
 result = msg.match(regexp);

The 's' modifier is not supported by many browsers!

I suggest you change your regex to:

/<p[\s\S]*?</p>/g

That should work in all browsers.

What it does: It starts by matching '<p', then it matches any characters (including newline) any number of times until the string '</p>' occurs.
