How do I replace “<br /><br />” with “<br />” in HTML using JavaScript and jQuery? -

<div id="validationsummary1" class="alert alert-error"> lastly 4-digits of social security number not match fellow member record on file fellow member id number have entered.<br /> date of birth not match fellow member record on file fellow member id number have entered.<br /><br /> </div>
