How can I strip out the dirty characters shown in textarea after to extract the tags from a webpage and before submitting to another page?
By dirty characters I take in mind the characters shown in the image below.
- Replacing double space with a unique space
- Replacing "squares" with a blank space
- delete contents between "<!--" and "-->" or "<?" and "?>"
I have a JavaScript string. I want to replace all consecutive
occurrences of whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, newlines, and
form feeds with another string.
For example, say I have a string consisting of:
-- 3 spaces
-- The characters "hello"
-- 2 newline (
) characters
-- The characters "goodbye"
-- 5 spaces
After applying some sort of regular expression to replace consecutive
occurrences of whitespace chars with the string "X", the string should
consist of the following:
-- The character "X"
-- The characters "hello"
-- The character "X"
-- The characters "goodbye"
-- The character "X"
How could I do this using regular expressions? I'm quite familiar with
JavaScript but don't know anything about regular expressions or using
them in JavaScript, so please show me step-by-step how it's done.
I am running a search on my web site which uses jQuery to take the search terms and build up a URL based on them. For example, if someone searches for "chair" my URL will be appended with /chair/. However, if someone searches for something which is two words, for example "chair covers" I need the space in between to be replaced by a "+" sign so the URL will now be appended with /chair+covers/ I'm not sure if it is possible to string replace in jQuery?
Here is my current code:
function sendSearchInput(whichelement,hiddeninput,formid) {
hval = $("#"+hiddeninput).val();
$("#"+formid).submit(function() {
if ($("input:#"+whichelement).val() != hval) {
var searchval = $("#"+whichelement).val().toLowerCase();
$("#"+formid).attr("action","retail/search/"+searchval+"/");
return true;
}
$("input:#"+whichelement).focus();
return false;
});}
This will basically check that the form is not the default value (specified in the hidden field "hval") and then change the search term to lowercase and append the URK using "attr". I have tried a couple of methods including
var test = searchval.text().replace(' ','+');
And then trying to alert "test" to check it but the function just simply doesn't work.
I am trying to replace all newline characters with <br /> tags. The following two javascript functions that I've found, work in Firefox but do not work in Internet Explorer (I have version 7 installed on my machine).

I'm just wandering, how can you stop the replace() function from replacing characters inside a word, such as, if I try to replace 'x' with 'and', then my string would go from 'example, x' to 'eandample, and'.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to make one regex to replace a space with "Â " and a tab with "Â "?
Currently I'm using two regex's with string.replace( ... ).replace( ... ), but that means it has to run through the string twice. Any way to do what I want in one regex?
I have been using code such as
a=a.replace(/ /g,'');
b=b.replace(/;,/g,';');
to eliminate spaces in a string, as well as converting things like ";," to ";" in strings.Several instances of these replacements will have to occur in the strings.Unfortunately, I cannot make it work for converting two commas into one or for eliminating line breaks. Does anyone know how to do this (preferably without using "while")?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi created this little script that creates dynamically a row. my problem is that when i want to delete a row it always deletes the last one, they way i have it mind that it will only delete the selected row. Code:
View 12 Replies View Relatedfunction del(type, id, title) {

return false;
