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

Replace Whitespace Characters In String

Oct 12, 2005

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.

JQuery :: Possible To Replace String Characters?

Aug 4, 2009

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.

Is there a way to make one regex to replace a space with " " and a tab with " "?

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?

"Replace()" With Special Characters?

Aug 3, 2011

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")?

Pop Up Ask Yes And No Before Delete

Jul 6, 2011

here's the code

<div class="artworkdelete">
<a href="javascript:void(0);" id="del_<?=$artworkDetails['artwork_id'] ?>_<?=$temp_cat_id; ?>" onclick="deleteThisArtWork(this.id)">Delete</a>
</div>

that's actually a "Delete" link , when I click it, there's a some sort of loading animation like stuff , similar to the thing that appears when one clicks the edit button of a thread here in this forum..then and it deletes the data and doesn't need to refresh the page, i guess it is ajax.....it's not my code.. now I was asked to alter it and use a pop up box to ask the clicker "Yes" or "No" before deleting the data , what or how to change that code snippet i pasted above

function del(type, id, title) {

if (confirm("Are you sure you want to delete '" + title + "'"))
{
window.location.href = 'http://www.example.com/delete.php?t=' + type + '&id=' + id;
} else {
return false;
}}

PHP Code:

echo "<a href='#' onClick='del(a," .$result->getFieldByName('work_name') . ",". $result->getFieldByName('work_id') . "); return false;'>(Delete)</a></p>";

And finally the XHTML when I view source:

<a href='#' onClick='del(a,This is Another Test,38); return false;'>(Delete)</a>
... I'm getting absolutley no response. Ideas?
