In my functionality, I need to replace all the apostrophes(') present in the sentence with double apotrophes('') so that it can be stored in the database. I am able to replace the first apostrophe with indexOf() and replace() methods.
How do I replace the other apostrophes present in the string?
I have major problems with quotes or apostropes copied from either a Word document or a web browser giving me box characters on my Cold Fusion MX 6.1 web pages using Access 2000 database after my Updates or Inserts.
I would like to get rid of the quotes and apostrophes on the client side using javascript.
The problem is how do I get the Microsoft quotes or apostrophe because it seems to be a different character than a regular quote or apostrophe.
Here is my attempt but it doesnt catch the "weird" Word or Browser quotes or apostrophes.
function ReplaceQuotes(val)
{
myFieldValue = val
myFieldValue = myFieldValue.replace(/'/g,"")
myFieldValue = myFieldValue.replace(/"/g,"")
alert(myFieldValue)
}
I need to validate a 'first name' field. Only letters (a-z), hyphens (-) and apostrophes (') are allowed.
What would be the regular expression to make sure that these are the only things entered?
I got a problem with a standard if... else if sentence. Each one works alone, (ie. putting a /*..*/ around one of the conditions)but by combining them, only the first one triggers. The code :
function sjekk()
{
if (window.document.info.organisasjon.value =='')
{
alert('hey!');
return(false);
}
else {
if (window.document.info.check_feste.checked == false)
{
var answer = confirm('Continue?');
if (answer) {
return (true);
}
else {
return(false);
}
}
}
}
Does anyone know of an easy way, using javascript/jscript/jquery only, to get the first sentence of any Wikipedia article?
I've tried using ajax to grab all the html and then narrow it down using a couple of split() functions, but not every article is the same, so I don't think I can do it that way.
I want to display instruction in an alert box.
I query database to get this instruction. I have an instruction which has semicolons in it.
Ex: NO STATUS ON DEED; OLD NUMBER 805;
How do I display the above sentence in alert box? code...
I am taking a Javascript class and the teacher assigned this: Quote: Write a script that uses a random number generation to create sentences and name it sentences.html. Use five arrays of strings called: uppercase article (uarticle), noun, verb, lowercase article (larticle), and preposition. You will need to use the correct case for the article arrays. Create a sentence by selecting a word at random from each array in the following order: uarticle, noun, verb, preposition, larticle, noun. You can find examples of generating random numbers in both Fig. 8.6 (dice-rolling) and Fig. 8.7 (random image) of Chapter 8.
The arrays should be filled at minimum, as follows: the article array(s) should contain the articles: the, a, one, some and any. The noun array should contain the nouns: boy, girl, dog, town and car. The verb array should contain the verbs: drove, jumped, ran, walked, and skipped. The preposition array should contain the prepositions: to, from, over, under and on. If you would like to add more words, adjust the arrays appropriately.

I'm trying to have a sentence change a single word every 2 seconds, and i have little experience using jQuery, but I'm trying, I've spent a while looking all over and the closest I came was to cycle through a list.[code]....
I'm trying to have only the word (blue) change to (red) after 2 seconds and then to (green) after 2 seconds, but all with either a scroll, or a fade in/out.
I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?
I have an unusual situation. I need to increase the font size of every word in a sentence, one at a time, everytime you click on the page / div. any ideas ?
my closest idea was to wrap each word in a <span> tag and then use .next("span"), but that controls all of spans.
If i had <span>word one</span> <span>word 2</span>, how would i style one span at a time by clicking a single button ?
can someone explain how i can use an ondblclick event to cancel an onmousemove event? would I use cancelBubble for this? i have a statement in my header
document.onmousemove = updateMouseCoordinates; that moves a sentence of text around the screen. when i try to call a function using ondblclick event in the <p> tag, it fails to call function. without statement above, the function is called.... my purpose is to just cancel the onmousemove in event user performs a double click.
I'm trying to figure this out with jQuery: I have a few paragraphs of text kind of like this:
<p class="original" id="paragraph_1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce ut metus augue, vitae malesuada massa. Vestibulum nec lectus urna, vehicula porta leo. Fusce dui nunc, scelerisque at molestie ut, ultricies eu purus. Duis tristique placerat rhoncus. Aliquam rhoncus lacus justo. Morbi ultricies egestas orci eget fermentum. Proin sapien sem, suscipit vel semper in, tincidunt id enim. </p>
<p class="text" id="paragraph_2">Maecenas nisl ipsum, faucibus sed pulvinar a, tristique sed magna. Sed dui erat, tempor ut rhoncus sagittis, lacinia quis lorem. Quisque feugiat, ipsum nec varius elementum, est nunc lacinia mi, mollis convallis lorem ipsum at erat. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.</p>
And I have a couple of classes, like so:
.highlight {
background-color: #ccc;
} .strikethrough {
text-decoration: line-through;
}
What I want to do is apply the .highlight class to a sentence (not the entire paragraph) on hover, and apply the .strikethrough class to a sentence on click. It's easy to find a sentence using regex, but I don't know how to add/remove a span to just that particular sentence that is being hovered over. I know I could programatically wrap each sentence in <span>...</span> tags on the backend, but I was hoping there was a better solution.
I have seen some websites that you can "like" a sentence off a website. I have been on facebook developer's page and noticed the meta tags that you need to use but that is for a whole page. Is there a way I can do incorporate a like button to a sentence?

var str="Welcome to Microsoft! Microsoft Microsoft";
var stringToBeFound = 'Microsoft'
var ReplaceString = 'site'
document.write(str.replace(stringToBeFound , ReplaceString ));

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 want to replace all occurences of this ),( in my string with a comma .....
statement=statement.replace("),(",",");
This only does the first. I've been reading about adding "/g", but haven't
got it to work. I've messed about with no luck. Any quick pointers?
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).
I am creating a "Please wait..." page to show a friendly message to my
site users while the data is being loaded. I am using
location.replace() javascript function to do this.
The problem that I am facing is displaying the records that the
application has already processed on the wait page. Does anybody know
what can I do to pass data field value from the end page where the data
processing is going in background on to the wait page.
I found this in one of my old scripts but I can't remember what the -0 was used for. I remember it was a shortcut method but I can't remember for what. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
var Pattern = /px/;

I have a question about manipulating a document. Suppose for example
that I had a table like this:
<table>
<tr id="row1">
<td>R1C1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>R2C1</td>
</tr>
</table>
What I want to do is add an onclick event handler to row1 to insert a
row after row1. I can't seem to find a way to do it though. After
creating the new row node, I could try something like
document.getElementById("row1").parentNode.appendChild(newNode) but
that would add the new row to the bottom of the table. The
insertBefore() method is the right idea but I want to insert the new
row AFTER row1 and there doesn't seem to be an insertAfter() method.
I thought about navigating through the DOM tree to get the row after
row1 and then using insertBefore() but the table is generated
dynamically and there won't necessarily be a next row.
I was tring to write a function to make that took the letters that a
user is searching for and making the first occurrence of it bold in
the results (ignoring the case).
>From reading javascript books and looking at posts in this group, I
thought this would work. Perhaps I misunderstood what $1 is. But in
the results, I am getting a bold $1 with IE6.
How can I determine what the occurrence of the phrase is in the
correct case?
I realize I can write this parsing the string without regular
expressions but I thought this would be cleaner.
var match = new RegExp( escapeCharsForRegExp(typedLetters), "i");
if (match.test(text))
{
text = text.replace(match, '<b>' + '$1' + '</b>' );
}
