WebConsole and Javascript is disabled when replacing the whole document

When I try to replace the whole html document using js, this work causes the page's javascript events to not work. When I put

document.documentElement.innerHTML = document.documentElement.innerHTML.replace(/\(\+93\)/g, "(+93)");

In the Console then javascript events and triggers dont work.
Actually I see a line of alert in the Firefox's Console:

The Web Console logging API (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) has been disabled by a script on this page.

How can I get around this problem?

Why are you doing that to the entire documentElement? – epascarello Aug 23 '14 at 16:58

That's a terrible idea, select the DOM elements directly and modify their content. – Ram Aug 23 '14 at 17:04
No No No I cant .. webpage that i want to do this on it changes ids of its elements .. it is dynamic . – UltraDEVV Aug 23 '14 at 17:06
You don't have to use IDs for selecting the elements. – Ram Aug 23 '14 at 17:10
So just choose or why do this? – alonisser Aug 23 '14 at 17:10
You are not in my situation ! so just imagine you need to do this and you face this problem. – UltraDEVV Aug 23 '14 at 17:24

Alternative approach: iterate over all text nodes and replace the contents of those that contain the string you are looking for. – Felix Kling Aug 23 '14 at 17:50
