Replace function not working

[developer155]

I have this code
if (String(Request.QueryString("adType")) != "undefined"){
var adType = Request.QueryString("adType");
}
var adID = 1;
if (String(Request.QueryString("ID")) != "undefined"){
var adID = Request.QueryString("ID");

Now I need to rid adID of characters like "<", ">" and quotes "
I use adID = adID.Replace("<",""); but it throws an error that fucntion is nto supported. I also tried lower caps same results!

adID = adID.Replace("<","");
[tt]adID = adID.[red]r[/red]eplace([blue]/</g[/blue],""); [/tt]

Thanks!
Now I am still getting the error. The ADID is a numeric value and when I apply replace, i get "method not supported" exception. How can I convert ADID to string? toString() does nto work (also throws error)

To be more specific, ADID is
%27%22%29%3Cscri+id%3D%2280000000%22+%2F%3E
The value is a parameter passed in QS

When I try to run
adID = adID.replace(/</g,"");

on that it gives me error, method is nto supported

thanks

This should replace the single quotes, double quotes, and less than sign with a blank string:

adID = String(adID).replace(/\<|\'|\"/g, "");

The core problem is that after executing
var adID = 1;
if (String(Request.QueryString("ID")) != "undefined"){
var adID = Request.QueryString("ID");

adID is eithed a numeric or an object (but not a string).
This is why .replace is not defined.

Try:
var adID = Request.QueryString("ID")(); or
var adID = String(Request.QueryString("ID"));

These will assign a 'real' string to adID so .replace will work jut fine both with a simple string to look for and with a regular expression.
