View 10 RepliesFirst of all, I don't want to replace text in a form, or on click.
I'm writing up a design document in HTML, and I need an area to display code.
The < and > tags won't show up, obviously, but to make it easier on the programmer, I don't want him to have to manually put in < and > for each time it shows up.
I am aware that JavaScript has a replace function, but I am not familiar with JavaScript quite yet.
Is there a way to have JavaScript find the < and > in a certain div, and replace it with < and > on load?
So I have been toying with trying to Find and Replace any chars after the @ symbol in a little twitter like thing I wrote. I am having trouble getting the function to find the @username and change it to Red. Here is my function so far...
Code:
function replies(element)
{
if (!element)
{
[Code]....
If I find a line like this: Code: |Note|Dur:16th,Grace|Pos:n-10^|Opts:Stem=Up , I will have to insert the first character after Pos: (n, b, or #) into the Pos: field of a later "Chord" line (will be a list separated by commas). If there is a number (positive or negative) following Pos:, nothing needs to be done.

When I find a record such as this in a textarea:
[Code]....
There will be from 1 to 4 Pts, if one is missing there will not be a next one. My problem is I replace the first occurrence of any number I find and for certain factors (2 in this case) it could change an already converted number and leave other fields in the record alone. I could split the line on commas to change the first number I find but can't be certain if there are no other commas elsewhere on the line.
I've got a rather odd situation (in so far as it is probably uncommon)- for a variety of reasons that I don't want to get into on here, I have to replace a DIV with another fairly similar DIV that has an identical ID to the original as well as several child elements that also have identical IDs to the content in the original DIV. This all happens after the page load is complete. The problem is that JQuery can't locate any of the new elements by ID. I assume that's because it's already generated a model of the DOM that contained elements with identical IDs, but now that the old IDs no longer correspond to valid objects, jquery has nothing to return when I search for the new elements.So question:Is there any way to force JQuery to rebuild the DOM model? Or alternatively, is there a way that I can force JQuery to index the new elements once they've been added to the page?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm often creating html for foreign languages [from supplied copy] which uses special characters eg graves, umlauts, etc. As a matter of routine I replace the copy text with the correct document character eg for a u with an umlaut, I replace it with &# 252;
I do all of this in dreamweaver and it can take ages doing a Find and Replace on each of these special characters.
I've read that you can create a Command in dreamweaver which basically executes some javascript you saved in an htm file.
Can anyone show me the code I'd need to add to an htm file so I could run it as a Command? Basically I just want it to go through the entire html file I'd have open in Dreamweaver and replace all of the special characters it finds with the correct &#... alternative. Would be even better if it could also tell if you've just selected a portion of the text and do the Find and Replace on that.

I would like to be able to add some code to find '' and replace with a line break. However, after spending a lot of time on Google and making a number of attempts I've not been able to achieve this. The XML feed is not mine, I have no ability to change this. I understand that there is some way of loading the text into a variable?
Provide me with some examples by editing my code?

The form is on a .php page. The form posts via a .cgi script. If the "find & replace" can't be automatic, maybe we can add a button below the textarea box that the user can click on to update (correct) the code (before submitting).

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>
