I have this script for replacing characters on form fields. I want to use it to remove letter accents. It is made to replace just one character, but I'm trying to modify it to replace many characters at once, but I'm not being able to get it to work correctly.
These are the characters that I would like to include code...
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).

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 "?>"
Consider the folowing html:
<div class="date">2010-01-30</div>
Using the .replaceWith Method how can I select the " -01- " and replace with "<span>JAN</span>"
I wrote a function in PHP that converts characters for large strings. Here is the entire array:

am doing a check on my fields, so that they only contain certain characters and numbers. var validEntry = /^[a-zA-Z0-9@$&"]+/; but this also captures a space in between words as an error. can somebody please tell me on how to avoid this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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 5 Replies View RelatedThere are two input fields in a form, but only one of them is required, they are not required at the same time. Either A or B is required. ( A is required OR B is required). In other words, a user can input data to field A, or he can input data to filed B, but he can not input data to Both A and B at the same time. How to implement this constraint in Jquery form validation?

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 looking for the past 2 days for a script that I can add and delete table rows.
I have found a lot but so far all of them add an input field but I desperatly need a textarea or ideally a section of input fields.
I have tried to change the code from input to text area but none of them worked.
Have you come across to a similar script.
I would appreciate any contributions.
What I am trying to do is a page where the user will add their employees details so we can order business cards for them. So I have fileds such as, Name, Tel Num, Email, Cell etc.
I have this order form where the customers can change the quantity by intput in a text field.I would like to have the text field changed with select fields, but doing so in the form, the script is not doing anymore.Can anyone have a look and tell me what to change in the scritp to accept select fields in place of the text fields.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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")?
How I would remove characters from a string if they are present?
For example lets say I wanted to remove c:/fakepath/ from the string c:/fakepath/DSF102.jpg and just leave the DSF102.jpg how would I got about this?
Below is a script i found that would countdown the characters in a form element. I have a form that comes "pre-populated" with text. Can this script be modifed such that the counter would be initiated with the length of the text area in question?
Code:
function CountLeft(field, count, max) {
if (field.value.length > max)

This has been asked before, and i've seen many of the previous posts. And tried for hours. But finally i've broken and have to ask for help. What am I doing wrong here?
var u=document.forms["lead"]["name"].value;
var v=document.forms["lead"]["city"].value;
var x=document.forms["lead"]["country"].value;
var y=document.forms["lead"]["mobile"].value;
var z=document.forms["lead"]["email"].value;

i have a html/php form which let users upload pictures onto my server. the problem with it is, it says the picture has been uploaded but if the file name contains any of character apart from text (A-z) and numbers, the picture never shows up in the admin panel.
is there a way using ajax or jquery to disallow certain file names in the upload field of the html which uses these characters !@#$%^'&*()"?
how do i go on about this?
With the code I had to acknowledge nothing had been inserted,(that is, still spaces, it was working. When I added the code to only accept alpha chars etc., I inserted numbers, nothing worked, with no error message. Would you, or can I send the whole code through for the form. I noticed that the form tags had been changed so I altered them as well according to your message.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the submit() method that is driving me nuts. I'm using document.form.submit() with large text fields (approx. 2000 characters) and am getting a "Invalid Syntax" error. If I do the same thing with a text field of under 1500 characters, it works fine.
Is there some size limit here that I don't know about?
Having a few problems with a form validation script. Its supposed to stop sending the form if key fields are missing, but it just sends them anyway!
Below is the code i use in the header to check for blank fields:

And now the code i use to action it:

From what i can see the fields match, it all links up correctly but still it will allow blank forms to be sent.
We're using Malsup's form plugin v2.82 and jQuery core 1.6.2. We're having issues in IE7 where, on a form with file upload, form fields are being dropped before the form is submitted to the server.We tracked it down to the `fileUpload` function, specifically line 196 where each field in the form data has `.attr('disabled',false)` run against it. If we change this to`.prop('disabled',false)` it all works fine.I don't see a clearly marked place to submit bug reports for the form plugin, and wanted to verify that others see this as well,
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble changing the font color of my labels ONLY when I stop the form from submitting due to blank fields. I'm not sure whether if just changing my CSS will achieve what I want, or am I going to have to add somethig to my if else statement, or both? I would think I would need to change CSS to :
label.onfocus {
color:red;
}
but a little confused on what else.

I have two js scripts running on my project at the moment, one is uses mootools and the other uses jquery-1.2.3min, both work but not if they are on the same page.The mootool adds the pop out effect to a form box and the jquery enables the nav switch for 2 boxes that contain different form fields for a search engine. Now I've been reading up on the two and have decided to favour jquery which means I have to reproduce the same effect in mootool but with my limited knowledge it's proven rather hard.The mootool code:
var isExtended = 0;
var height = 165;
var width = 240;
