Convert PERL regex to Javascript - Help Required 1

[1DMF]

Hello,

Can someone plese help to convert the following regex substitution I use in PERL to work for JavaScript.

$desc =~ s/<[^>]*>//gis;

basically I want to be able to search a form field and change any HTML tags to blank!

how do I go about this?

I have this but it doesn't work

val.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '');

Thanks 1DMF

Hi Cory,


Are you sure here's what I got

val = document.addphrase.TITLE.value;
val.replace(/<[^>]*?>/gi, '');
if(document.addphrase.TITLE.value != val){
 document.addphrase.TITLE.value = val;
 msg = msg + "Tags '<*>' in Title - Removed!\n";
}

when i type

<this is a tag> kill it

nothing gets replaced and my messaged isn't displayed.

any ideas why

i'm sure:

    var re = /<[^>]*?>/gi;
    var v1 = document.forms['f'].elements['t'].value;
    var v2 = v1.replace( re, "" );
    var msg;
    if ( v2 != v1 ) {
        document.forms['f'].elements['t'].value = v2;
        msg += "Tags '<*>' in Title - Removed!\n";
    }
