Find The < And > In A Certain Div - And Replace It With < And > On Load?
Mar 2, 2011
First 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?
Is it possible to use javascript to find and replace 'on the fly'? I mean search the whole DOM and replace a few numbers before the page loads. Did i just answer my own question?
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...
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.
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?
My problem is that im using jQuery to replace the bb tags in a message. I want to replace all the [youtube][/youtube] with a youtube video and so far it works only if there is only 1 [youtube][/youtube] tag. If there is multiple [youtube][/youtube] tags in a message they change all of them to the same video.[code]
I'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.
With js I am trying to find and replace any prices within the innerHTML? Matching e.g.: $25.00 $15 $1000.45 $1000,999 I want to find all instances of these and replace them with alternative strings.
I'm trying to learn jQuery and am currently attempting to clone a div and then find and replace part of a string. The cloning part works, but I can't seem to get it to alter the text... In the html below, I'm trying to find all instances of issue-0, issue_0, or issue[0] (whether it's a name or an ID) and replace it with issue-1, issue_1, or issue[1] (depending on the character found after "issue")
I am looking for a script that will find and replace all instances of a word in the page. how ever there might be more than one instance. I'm not that crash hot on javascript and all i have at the moment is:
This script should look for UNASSIGNED and replace it with nothing
HTML Code: function func1() { var str=document.getElementById("UNASSIGNED"); document.write(str.replace(/UNASSIGNED/g, "")); } window.onload=func1;

I'm pretty new to Jquery and have a question. I'm loading html tables using tabs. One of the tables has signs within the cells. These aren't displayed properly and I wish to replace them with
I have been trying to figure out how to find all instances of a certain word or phrase within an element and wrap those words in <span> tags or other html. I.e. change all instances of 'the keywords' to <span>the keywords</span>So far I've found a lot of references to :contains() but that will change the element the text is inside of rather than just the text itself
how can i have the functionality of load() except i want to append data instead of replace. maybe i can use get() instead but i want to just extract the #posts element from the loaded data
I'm loading a (HTML) list from mySql via PHP into a main page using load. The main page is linked to a css file and a js file (jquery). The loaded data assigns the css file BUT does not seem to be able to find the js file as the click handlers in that file do not work. I'm new at this and this is probably a BASIC issue.
I've got very basic skills and am attempting to format a HTML page based on an XML feed. From this feed in one node within the text there are about 5 instances of ''. 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?
what code I can add to a webform textarea box that will replace all instances of " " with "\n" when a user pastes in JavaScript like this:
[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).
<script type="text/javascript"> var str="Welcome to Microsoft! Microsoft Microsoft"; var stringToBeFound = 'Microsoft' var ReplaceString = 'site' document.write(str.replace(stringToBeFound , ReplaceString )); </script>
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 am trying to make an online graphing calculator with javascript. dont ask how because i dont know. but there is an annoying error in a do...while loop. although it should break out of the loop when the |'s (absolute value signs) are replaced with Math.abs( and ). here is the code.
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:
