I am trying to replace new line character with the <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 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).
PHP has a function called nl2br() which takes all the newlines in a string and turns them into break tags <br>. I need to do the same in javascript. Is this about right? I'm not sure how one is supposed to reference invisible characters in Javascript strings. I took an example on the web and tried to modify it to my uses.
function nl2br_js(myString) { var regX = / /gi ;
s = new String(myString); s = s.replace(regX, "<br /> "); return s; }
After looking around quite a bit using Google, I still couldn't find out what the gi in the above example is for. What is it?
I have the following Javascript code to write a code to the page using InnerHTML. But instead of writing the code, it shows the content of the iframe. How can I make the code write straight text of the HTML code...
I need to replace custom tags to spans. I have: Code: <block style="color:blue" class="block01" limit="100">This is a block</block> I need to fetch the attributes and add them to a span, like: Code: <span style="color:blue" class="block01" limit="100">This is a block</span> There's a few on the page so I need to change all of them some may have many attributes.
When trying to emulate php's nl2br() function in javascript, I ran into something quite disturbing.
Code: cms.t.value = cms.t.value.replace(/ /gi, '<br /> '); Using this piece of code, I was really surprised that the newlines weren't preceded by <br />, but by <br>. I really don't understand why that would happen. Why can't I decide my own replacement string? .
in the code below I an trying to replace a string with another string, then write the new string in JavaScript tags. But the result is not what I wanted: first the original string was not replaced, second plain text is shown, instead of popping up an alert. Is there a way I can replace the string and execute the command?
On my site I use an SVG image. The <embed> tag works fine in Opera and Firefox. And <img> works fine in Chrome and Safari. I would like to know if it is possible to change the tag with an 'if' browser statement, and if it is ho would I write it.
if (jQuery.browser.webkit) { * // Replace <embed> with <img> }
I have a textarea field that is validated by Js, this textarea can and will contain the newline character so I validate in JS if(textareaname.value.length < 200)this hten goes through to my php where i also check before I place in to the Database using MYSQL,if( strlen($_POST['textareaname']) < 200 )but my php is giving me a different string length from my javascript.It looks as if Javascript is counting a newline as 1 character and php is treating it as 2.I have checked my slashes, I have used various REgex to check these data amounts. I have also Googled around and there doesnt seem much around.how I can make php and javascript treat a newline as the same amount of characters?
only have test one browser - Mozilla - but have the impression, that newlines when setting innerHTML doesn't go down very well with the browser. Is this sufficient for causing a hard crash or at least an exception? Can anyone verify that? (Just a guess now at the moment)
I am trying to retrieved the value of the textarea with the newline preserved without having to submit the form to the server. Does anyone knows how to? I tried soft and hard wrap but both does not seems to affect the input in anyway.
Example : <form name=frm> <textarea name=ta wrap="soft"></textarea> </form> <script language=javascript> alert(document.frm.ta.value) // <-- the alerted value should look exactly as what is entered in the textbox. </script>
I have a form with a textarea field. I want to validate the input from the textarea using javascript. Suppose I want to check that the user has not entered the string: "Hello World!"
To do this I am using the script: form["text"].value == "Hello World"
But this gives an "unterminated string constant error" because the browser converts this to: form["text"].value == "Hello World"
This of course print each word on a new line in the browser. The problem is when the user copies and pastes the text, it appears as one long string of text with no breaks. Now consider the following script:
In textareas or input textboxes, when you dynamically add ' ' to the textbox's value, is it automatically converted to ' '? If it does, in what browsers does this happen? Firefox (and other Geckos)? Opera? Konqueror?
my javascript does not working after I retrieve a record that contains square symbol in the database. The square symbol should be a newline in a textarea. This is how the record "looks" in the table: [URL]
I am inserting the record using ASP and the value with square symbol is the value from a textarea with newline/enter. After that I retrieve the value using ASP and pass it to javascript and then the page is not working. If I retrieve other record which contain no square symbol then the script is working.
Can't seem to make it work, I have seen many examples but they are all just for 1 div tag. When i trymore than one it doesn't work anymore.The first one works, if i have more than 1 then the other don't work.
using the following jquery $(document).ready(function(){ $("#toggle-text").click(function () { var divvalue= this.value;
Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags?
I really know nothing about how to code JavaScript (I know what it is and what it does) and I need a script to go in the head of my page and look for all <a> tags that have <img> tags inside of them and add a rel="lightbox" attribute to them.
