Replace throwing error with <> symbols 1

[checkai]

I'd like my link to show <> symbols on hover and then remove them on mouse out...

here's what I have so far.

onmouseover="this.innerText= '< ' + this.innerText + ' >';"

onmouseout="this.innerText = replace(' >', replace('< ',this.innerText));"

"...your mom goes to college..."

try using something like:

this.innerText = this.innerText.replace(/\<|\>/g, '');

[tt]"quote goes here"[/tt]
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.coryarthus.com/[/url]

that did not replace anything...

"...your mom goes to college..."

worked perfectly for me:

<div onmouseover="this.innerText= '< ' + this.innerText + ' >';"
     onmouseout="this.innerText = this.innerText.replace(/\<|\>/g, '');"
>cory</div>

show your code, we can't guess what you're doing.

You are right, sorry about that! Is there a way then to get rid of the space that is after the symbol?

'< ' I'd like to have the space there, but then remove it on mouseout.

"...your mom goes to college..."

this.innerText = this.innerText.replace(/\<\s|\s\>/g, '');

if there may ever be more than one space, this would need to be modified. otherwise, should work fine. let me know.
