I need to search and replace patterns in web pages, but I
can't find a way even after reading the ad hoc chapter in New Rider's
"Inside JavaScript".
Here's what I want to do:
function filter() {
var items = new Array("John", "Jane");
for (x = 0; x < items.length; x++) {
//Doesn't work
pattern = '/' + items[x] + '/'
//Doesn't work either
document.body = document.body.replace(pattern,"IGNORED");
}
ie., create an array of items to look for in the BODY section of the
page, and if any item exists, replace the item with IGNORED.
There are multiple intranet pages with a list of names on them that are updated regularly.At the moment, there is no easy way to check if a name is on the pages without going in to each one at a time and searching them individually.
Is there a javascript script I could use to search all of the pages at the same time, and if a match is found, open the relevant page and highlight the result?
My page populates a table with a list of names and other information from a JavaScript object. I receive changes (adds, change & delete) to that list, convert it into a JavaScript object. I do understand how to add the new names to the list.
I have 3 questions:
1) How can I search through the table rows to find the rows to be changed or removed?
2) How can I resort the table, so the names continue to appear in alphabetical order.
3) How can change or remove data in the cells, once I've found the appropriate row?
i have a implementation where i need to perform a search and replace. i will try to explain to the best of my ability. i have a variable, var a = "THIS IS SOME SOME TEXT";
then i have another array variable, var b = new Array(); which contains elements in key=value format eg. SOME=NEWSOME so what i need to do is, i need to loop through this array and if SOME exists in var a, then i need to replace it with NEWSOME. so for each value before =, if it exists in var a replace it with whats after =. and replace only once, so if SOME exists multiple times just replace the first occurence.
so essentially my final string would be, THIS IS NEWSOME SOME TEXT.
I want to change this code so that I can have multiple word variables I can change, possibly separated by comas I guess?.. Open to other idea's as well. Do you also know how I can make it so that it's NOT case sensitive? Code:
I have a large string, but need to search for a specific character and replace it only if it is between two other items. Examplemystring would be something like this<parent><child1>1 & 2</child1><child2>1 & 2</child2><child3>1 & 2</child3></parent>I need to replace the & symbol in child2, but not 1 or 3. I am trying to figure out how to replace just any & signs in child2, but I need to leave them alone in child 1 and 3.I know I can do a replace(), but just not sure how to limit it to only the one I need
In a string (that contain the Flash version installed), I want to replace:
all "," by "." "win" by <nothing> all spaces by <nothing> So far I do it this way: strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace(/,/g, '.'); strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace('win', ''); strFlashVer = strFlashVer.replace(/ /g, '');
but I'm sure theres better way (I'm not really good with reg exp).
I'm trying to reduce a large number of pdf files to text format. Acrobat has a batch processing feature that will convert the files, and also allows a JavaScript to be executed as part of the conversion process.
I would like to add JavaScript code that allows me to replace and/or remove certain text/characters from the file.
Examples would be:
A) Remove all double, triple, multi-spaces and carriage returns
B) Change all uppercase characters to lowercase
C) Remove all punctuation
What i'm really aiming for is to be able to run the batch process in Adobe, then have a javascript filter out all that junk within a file with X amount of lines, not just one.
I have around 100,000 html files that I need to do a search/replace on. I currently have the word "Manchester" in all of these files which needs replacing with the full file path location;
is 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 have a validation regular expression: [?&-#$%():;,._ 0-9a-zA-Z] in a hundreds of pages in edit boxes. Is there anyway I can on-the-fly add two items to this list: (after a page loads)
1) A single quote : ' 2) A double quote : "
Sort of like a search and replace for the ENTIRE form (html document).
trying to write a function where i can pass an array and string and replace the value in return. i.e
var inputStr = "010203040506070809111213141516171819";
i want to pass this value in function and replace each number (number ranges are 01-09 and 11-19 only) i.e if i pass 01 want to replace that with A,02 with B etc.. so problem is i would pass input string and pass back as string after replacing those values by running through the below function. wrote the following,cant seem to split my inputStr into 01 02 etc tried splice and split no luck :
I was asked an interesting question today: what is the best design pattern for form validation? This got me thinking. Form validation, on a theoretical level, is pretty simple, you: listen for events from the form, pass inputted data from the form through some validation functions, then react accordingly. I haven't really thought about design patterns on such a macro level. This does seem like a pretty standard mvc setup when I think about it, but is there a better option? Some pattern I haven't though of or heard about?
I want to create a horizontal stacked bar chart that it will support zoom in/out and mouse over events. I also want some times instead of colors to be able to use patterns. For the first part it seems that only dojo can produce those charts. In addition, i haven't seen any javascript library to support patterns in any kind of chart.
How do you count patterns in record fields and create an array of it?For example:Searching in (using my example below) currently gives me multiple outputs of
0 0 (**in** seen at index 0 of book 0 title record) 0 13 (**in** seen at index 13 of book 0 title record) 1 19 (**in** seen at index 0 of book 1 title record)
The javascript below is looking for the word 'margaret thatcher' in the body and surrounding it with a link. It's lower-case but the script is ignoring the case so that won't matter. But, the problem is that because Margaret Thatcher is a proper noun, it will be capitalized in the body text yet replaced with lower-case text. How can I modify this script to look for the word while ignoring the case but use the same text it found as the replacement instead of using the text object?
I have a search field on the website, and when I type a word to search, it search good, but after preforming the search, the search term from search text field disappears and become the default 'Search' word.
How can I make search term stay in search field after preforming a search ? For example, when I type into the search field 'JavaScript' I want that term to stay in search field and after the search is done.
var el = document.createElement("iframe"); el.setAttribute('id', 'ifrm'); document.body.appendChild(el); el.setAttribute('height', 250);

And am putting it between <script type="text/javascript"> and </script> tags in the <body> section of my site. But, it only works in certain areas of the page.

I have created a similar smart search like yellowpages:[URL]... Here is the problem I have with mine:
Lets say I search 'Attorneys' I start typing 'Att' ... then 'Attorneys' shows up in the smart search so I click on it and press enter. The next time I start typing 'Att' my browsers saved search field pops up over the websites smart search. Here is an image which might help explain the problem a bit more:
I have chosen to use Google Custom Search with my website and was given the following code, my question is, how can i pass a search query from my homepage which has a standard form on there to the search page which holds this code?
