Stop The Replace() Function From Replacing Characters Inside A Word
Jan 4, 2010
I'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'.
I have previously developed two scripts, both of which work really well, however I want to amalgimate them together if possible? My first script loads the content specified into a single div, replacing the content depending on which function is called, it also displays a loading gif during a timeout of 2 seconds. Here is the page:
I want to change words in other words with script. For example: All the word "Post" will be replaced in "Webdeveloper.com" and etc... How is that possible? I not want use with: "javascript: document.body.contentEditable = 'true'; document.designMode = 'on'; void"
I have a script which gathers information from a form and, if needed, writes this info to a 'preview' window. At times {tokens} are used in place of real html tags. How can I tell the script to look for "{" and "}" and replace them, respectively, with "<" and ">".
I tried using "str = str.replace(/{/g, "<").replace(/}/g, ">");" but that didn't work. The script in question is being written by PHP... thus, may be generating a syntax-based failure. Any ideas?
I'm having an issue with doing a simple js task. I have a list of hyperlinks that contain various paths. For instance: a href="[URL] a href="[URL]
What I need is to remove the term "content" from all the hyperlinks in it's contain div. There is got to be a simple way of doing this and I can't seem to find the right direction. I also need to have the targets changed as well, which I was able to complete. window.onload = function(){
var anchors = document.getElementById('containerDiv').getElementsByTagName('a'); var links = "content"; for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++){ anchors[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank'); } }
i have two iframes side by side.i want users to type a keyword in a search bar,click, and the keyword would replace a (specified) characters in the iframes and display the content.
*so, upon entring a keyword in a search field(and clicking) the keyworld would replace all @@@ in iframes.
i have tried several codes including remote scripting in iframe. does is involve PHP? i can't seems to understand. can anyone please give me code and instruction on how to use it?
I'm new to Javascript but did this script which displays answers when you click on a link (like a quiz). Actually i've got an arrray where I store my answers. When I click on the link below, the answers have to be displayed after replacing certain characters in them. I'm stuck with the last part. Code:
I am currently seeking help on how to best approach finding a solution to this. Essentially I have a textarea which a user is supposed to be typing a text based email message(no HTML) The textarea has a column width of 80 However there is a recommended width of 53 characters per line. Obviously the user can just keep on typing away past the 53 character recommended width if they want, but I want to add either a form button or a link with an onClick thatanalyzes the contents of the textarea. It should insert a hard return when it reaches 53 characters, but if the 53rd character is in the middle of a word it should count back to the previous space and do the line wrap there.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I assumed there has to a solution using jQuery, but I am at a loss. I did come across some javascript which works, but it doesn't take into account the fact that the 53rd character maybe in the middle of a word.
I have a textarea with a specific width. I have wrap="off" set because I don't want to force my users to wrap if they don't want to. The reason for this is because this textarea is where the user is typing an email message. However I have a background image set on the textarea with a verticle line going down the textarea which indicates to the user the "Recommend Width"What I want to do is provide them with a link to click on which says something like "Wrap Lines" and when they click on it, the text within the textarea would wrap to the "Recommended Width" line in the background image. The maximum length of a line should be 53 characters when they click on "Wrap Lines" link.So I did some searching around and the code I came up with is:
Code: function showLines(max, text) { max--; text = "" + text; var temp = ""; var chcount = 0;
I have a textbox, and I want to search the contents of it and replace all instances of a certain word, and replace that word with something else. For the purposes of this it could be replacing "green" with "blue". Can someone please show me how to properly do this?
If I have an 'dynamic' Div that sometimes contains the word Red or sometimes contains the word Green, i would like to replace (or something) the ID to something else.If the word inside the div is Green I need to use a green background, but if the word is red in the div, i need to have it in a red background.
Can method replaceWith() be used to replace just ONE WORD in body of a tag (i.e., element.html()?) with another word? I have li's with "tab one", "tab two", "tab three" etc.. I have to replace dynamically ONLY the word "tab" with another word..
in excel i want to replace the word bebo with a value in cell B1 this is the line CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bebo` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,`beboid` varchar(255) default '0',`status` varchar(255) default 'No Comment Posted',PRIMARY KEY (`id`))
in column B i have a load of values so i need an excel formula to replace bebo so that it will take values from B1 to B26 I know this is not the correct section to be posting in but couldnt find a relative section on this site..
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;
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;
Also wanting another script that searches for a string via ID. if the id has SP.XXX <-- XXX being random numbers then i want it to find the and replace this repeating occurrence with a
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).
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...
