Can anyone recommend a good Javascript cross-browser string replace method? On both PC Mozilla Firefox and IE 6, I tried this
var str = requiredField.replace("_", " ");
where requiredField = "Ship_To_First_Name", but sadly the value of str
was "Ship To_First_Name". It seemed only one "_" had been replaced.
I have been struggling around with trying to figure out a reliable manner for detecting the Javascript version a given browser is using.
Basically, there are two half-decent ways that I have found, neither one being foolproof.
One way is using javascript tags with the language attribute, as in the following code:
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"><!--
gVersion="1.0";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.1"><!--
gVersion="1.1";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.2"><!--
gVersion="1.2";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.3"><!--
gVersion="1.3";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.4"><!--
gVersion="1.4";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.5"><!--
gVersion="1.5";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
This works fine but it is not very elegant. Another disadvantage is that it is not XHTML compliant.
The other way is using some sniffer scripting like that found in the JavaScript Browser Sniffer (Web Reference).
However, this is not very reliable as it needs to be constantly updated to take newer browsers into consideration. Also, on my system it gave an incorrect Javasctipt version of 1.3 when it should have given 1.5 (according to the first option above).
I was just wondering if there was a more dependable way of doing this.
Maybe it would just be better to avoid unnecessary headaches and restrict myself to W3C compliant brwosers.
I am facing a problem in passing replace() function as an argument in user defined java function.
intention is to pass a file path to my user defined function, but before passing the path i want to replace the character '' to '\'
I am posting my javascript function here:
<a href="#" onclick="OpenDocPreview('<%# Eval("PATH")%>'.replace(/\/g,"\\"), '<%# Eval("Filename")%>')"><%# Eval("DocTitle") %></a>
function OpenDocPreview(url, docname) {
alert('message from search base : ' + url + ' ' + docname);
}

consider this code below:
var toremove = "some";
var tolook ="I am looking for some other text in this string toremove";
if i do this:
tolook = tolook.replace(/toremove/gi,'');
will to look replace the text inside the toremove variable, or will it
just replace the variable name?
I have this function in a page (namely cours.html)

var lien =

I'll probably be laughed at for this attempt of coding, but all I am trying to do is read an input field, remove the "$" and write the new value in a different input field.

var clean=input1.replace(/$/, '');

I have some jQuery which I used on a site a couple of years ago. It basically loads some content into a DIV, which can be rotated using a .click function.I'd like to use the same code again, and I have got it working, but instead of having to click a link with a specific ID, I'd like it to automatically run every 4 seconds.
Here is my code:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(function(){
var offset = 5;
[code]....
and here is my HTML to trigger the function:
<div id="postContainer">... loading ...</div>
<a href="#" id="another">show another</a></span>
replace that .click function to run automatically every 4 seconds.
I've written a function to format a number. It strips dollar signs and commas, converts to a number, and sets the number to two decimal places.However, I get the error message "amountNum is undefined". It occurs right where I use the replace command.[code]I am calling the function with this line of code:[code]
View 16 Replies View Relatedis it possible to combine the the following functions with each other in an array for example and if so, would someone be kind enough to show me how. the reasons are 1. to see if it is at all possible and 2. to learn so that I can combine further possibilities in the future. the first script compares user keywords from search mashines and the second replaces certain strings/paterns with others.

I've been using a hidden iframe for remote server scripting - how i've been doing it is that a load(); function changes the src component of the iframe with $_GET variables to pass to PHP:
this.load = function () {
this.iframe.src = this.file + "?action=load&gid=" + this.gid + "&last_modified=" + this.last_modified;
}
The frame itself then has an "onload" function that calls a doLoad(); function that handles receipt of any information back from the server. declared this way:
<iframe id="loader" onload="loader.doLoad();" style="width:0px;height:0px;border:none;"></iframe>
The trouble with this as you may guess is that the page was reloading every time src was changed and the history list of the browser was messed up. So I did some research and came up with this method that solves that problem:
this.load = function () {
//this.iframe.src = '';
this.iframe.contentWindow.document.location.replace(this.file + "?action=load&gid=" + this.gid + "&last_modified=" + this.last_modified);
}
Which is great, but now onload doesn't call!
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'.

Code:
String.prototype.stripSlashes = function ()

I have previously developed two scripts, both of which work really well, however I want to amalgimate them together if possible?

My problem is im trying to use string.replace that is not case sensitive and replace every string found. I could use regular expression with it but my stringToBeFound is a dynamic variable im getting it from my database

I ran into a problem that I could not fix myself, I am trying to replace a string with another string, the replace lines look like this:
Code:
var word = document.getElementById("word").innerHTML; document.getElementById("word").innerHTML = wordd.replace(/B/g, '<span class="style106">B</span><span class="style107"> </span>'); It works just perfectly if left alone, but I need to replace every letter inside this string, adding those style and span tags around each and every letter. So if I add another line to this code, like this:

Is is possible to strip out some legacy <br> tags and replace them with </p><p>? A line break after the closing para would also be nice. And, can I target the asterisk and following space (see below) and delete it?
I've had a look at jQuery and managed to replace the br with p tags but they're the wrong way round i.e. open then close as it just manipulates the DOM not my string.
The current code/text is supplied from a database I don't have access to and the client doesn't have the time (nor the inclination I would suspect) to amend it.
Old existing code:
<p>blah blah blah<br>* blah blah blah<br>* blah blah blah<br>* blah blah blah</p>
New code wanted:
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
I'm looking for a very simple script to replace one div with another. I've found a few but they seem overly complicated with features I don't need. I simply want to be able to click on a div and for it to be replaced with another div previously hidden.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got a simple navigation system set up in a framed site:
navigation/top frame and a main body frame. Whenever you click on a
navigation button it passes the new location to this function:
gotoNewPage = function(loc) {
main.location.replace(loc);
// alert(loc);
}
which changes the page loaded in the main frame. This seems to work well
until I put a link in the page in the main frame, say:
<a href="#" onclick="top.gotoNewPage(Ƈ_7.htm')">Click me</a>
In IE the page changes to Ƈ.7.htm'.
In FF (and MZ) the page "flashes" but doesn't change.
If I uncomment the alert the page changes.
If I put the link in the nav frame the page changes in FF.
How can I get FF to behave in this instance?

I see the use of Javascript replace all over the web. What are all the
character sequences? (sorry I am a bit of a newbie at this).
i.value.replace(/[^d]+/g, '');
I understand that /g is global and /i is case sensitive, but what are
the rest? I am asking because I am trying to write a function that
takes an input and replaces everything but numbers and a . (for decimal
numbers).
