remove inline styles

[Floyd7]

Hi,

I know nothing about javascript, so please be kind. I am trying to remove inline styles from data output. I use SQL Server & Coldfusion. The messed up output is coming from a query. The query is named "getinfo" and the field is named "content". I tried the following code, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any advice (dumbed down, please) would be much appreciated.

<cfoutput>
<script language = "javascript">

var before = "#getinfo.content# <p>stuff</p> with <br>tags</br>";
var after = #getinfo.content#.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, "");
alert(after);// some stuff with tags
</script>
</cfoutput>

This isn't really exactly right. br should be empty tag. If you want line break, you can do this.
[tt] var before = "#getinfo.content# <p>stuff</p> with <br />tags"; [/tt]
or continue to use p tag.
[tt] var before = "#getinfo.content# <p>stuff</p> with <p>tags</p>";[/tt]

If you really want client-side js on this, you can do this.
[tt] var after = "#getinfo.content#".replace(/<[^>]*>/g, ""); [/tt]

[1.1] But I would say you can also do it server-side with rereplace?
[tt] var after = '#rereplace(getinfo.content,"<[^>]*>","","All")#'; [/tt]

This:

var after = #getinfo.content#.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, "");

should be

var after = before.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, "");
