Try thetext.replace(/\n/g,':'); (with the 'g' appended after the final
slash)

It does not work. But.

"ohe\nohe".split('\n'); /* gives the correct answer */

The problem, then, comes from the text source. It's a a <td> styled
with { white-space: pre; }
Do you have any idea?

at least :

thetext.replace(/\n/g,':');

perhaps :

thetext.replace(/(\n|\r|\n\r)/g,':');

better ? :

thetext.replace(/\s/g,':');

var txt = document.getElementById('myTd').innerHTML;
txt = txt.replace(/\s/g,'\n');
alert(txt.split('\n'));

(not tested)
