How would one make the ECMA-262 String.replace method work with a
string literal?
For example, if my string was "HELLO[WORLD]" how would I make it work
in this instance.
Please note my square brackets are not regular expression syntax.
Here is my code:
<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
A section of my webpage consists of two dozen lines of text displayed
by sequentially calling:
function printText1( text )
{
document.getElementById( "textLine1" ).innerHTML = text;
}
....
function printText24( text )
{
document.getElementById( "textLine24" ).innerHTML = text;
}
Is there a way to parameterize the string literal (textLineXX) so that
I can do it all by repeatedly calling one printText function?
im trying to read an xml file and put it into a textarea on my page.
here is the code that returns the xml file as a string:
Document doc = new Document();
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
XMLOutputter xmlOut = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat());
doc = saxBuilder.build(filesName);
String xml = outputter.outputString(doc);
no when i try to pass this to a javascript as follows:
function putXML(fileName){
var blah = '<%= xml %>'
document.btraxtestForm.HighwayMessage.innerText=blah;
}
it gives me a unterminated string literal error.
also, i will never know the contents of this xml file so i cant split up the string.
has anyone any ideas how i will fix this?

I created a simple WYSIWYG for creating CSS based webpages. It works exactly as assumed in Safari and Chrome. However, in firefox, when you copy/paste more than one line of text, instead of formatting it as html, in puts in line breaks causing the array storing all of the data to break into multiple lines and causing an unterminated string literal.
1. suggest why it is behaving this way?
2. suggest a work around to allow it to work on FF?
i am getting this error " unterminated string literal" but iam unable to locate the problem..iam using fire bug for firefox..

<p> Howdy <p> expressed as a literal string that is passed to the setTimeout() function might look like this: setTimeout("document.getElementById('first').innerHTML = '<p>' + 'HOWDY' + '</p>';", 2000);
I guess you can't just put quotes around an expression like this: "'<p> HOWDY </p>;" So tags have to be isolated, but it get confusing with expressions like this, which I am not sure how to express as a string:
<p><h2 class="pos_left"> <img src="car1.jpg" name="slide" width="400" height="250" /> </h2> </p>
I wish I could change the " in there to ' and then just wrap the whole thing in double " This is what I came up with but it did not work: setTimeout("document.getElementById('first').innerHTML = '<p>' + '<h2' + 'class='pos_left'' + '>' + '<img' + 'src='car1.jpg'' + 'name='slide'' + 'width='400'' + 'height='250'' + '/>' + '</h2>' + '</p>';", 4000);
I am setting dynamically a function call in my php as like this
onClick=selectAndUpdate('".$row1[serialNo]."','".$row1[bC]."','".$row1[size]."','".$row1[pattern]."');
Then when I run I get this error unterminated string literal selectAndUpdate('EA13','GY','210/60R. That means my third value from the db got problem due to the slash right? How to overcome this?
I am trying to create 3 elements on the fly when a button is clicked. The button is the show an upload form for images. I am using uploadify (first time using it) and I have several different upload type/options for them so I am sending id's to differentiate between them. The problem I am having is when trying to create the script tag which in turn controls the input file type tag, and it is baffling me. Here's the code first:

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:

I'm supposed to generate an XHTML table using the following data:

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?
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.
var initec = function(){
var rg = {

what is the best way to setup one literal to be the prototype for another?So far I can only think of making a copy into a constructor.
Code JavaScript:
var meths = {
// creates a constructor function populated with a shallow copy of child
// the prototype for the new instance is set to the parent.

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>' );
}
Three questions
1)
I have a string function that works perfectly but according to W3C.org
web site is syntactically flawed because it contains the characters </
in sequence. So how am I supposed to write this function?
String.replace(/</g,'<');
2)
While I'm on the subject, anyone know why they implemented replace using
a slash delimiter instead of quotes? I know it's how it's done in Perl
but why is it done that way?
3)
One last regexp question:
is it possible to do something like this:
String.replace(/<(.*?)>(.*?)</$1>/ig,'<$1>$2</$1>');
This is just an example where a sub-match used in a regular expression
must sub-match again exactly as it did the first time later in the same
string. But I don't know how to do that in a regexp although it seems
like it should be possible.

I would like to select the text of this td and replace with another string. How can that be accomplished?

I would like to replace all the characters within a string with asterisk using javascript.

I've a function like this: Code:
function submit_msg() {
if (egsd.value == 'yes') {
write_msg("<b>" + chatkeo.value + " : " + chatmsg.value + "</b><br />");
} else {
write_msg(chatkeo.value + " : " + chatmsg.value + "<br />");
}
chatmsg.value="";
}
Now I need to do some string replace in chatmsg.value, ie, I need to look for some piece of text in chatmsg.value, and in case they are present (there may be multiple occurences of the same), to replace them with something else. This is what I got by doing a google search: Code:
function replaceAll( str, from, to ) {
var idx = str.indexOf( from );
while ( idx > -1 ) {
str = str.replace( from, to );
idx = str.indexOf( from );
}
return str;}
chatmsg.value = replaceAll( chatmsg.value, "string to replace", "new string" );
And I place this second function just above the previous one. But it's not working. Any help friends?

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.
