Javascript to find and replace and then update fields

I have a 2 part issue: Using the [iol] method, I have a mod.js file and am calling it in my form. Issue #1: I am able to retrieve the data in some of the fields using  var intro = _fid_15....

Overview:
Template stored in a table with multiple languages and place holders for field values using rich text fields.
Template copied with selected language.
Run script to find and replace place holders with the values for the related case when user clicks a button.

I have everything except pulling in the table field values for the elements without an html element ID of the table field id.

I can't see how an automation would work to find placeholders in the rich text field and replace them.

I use automations and webhooks for much of  my workflow including copying the templates among other things.

I'm just needing help with what I stated above... reading data from html elements that don't have a corresponding #_fid_.
