string.replace

[vlitim]

I have a text box which contains numbers like:

,541,54,457

and the function below to remove the number if passed to it. The problem is if they pass the number 54 then it will remove the first instance 54(1). How do you get it to look just for that number.



function addProductArea(id)
{

var myString;
var pattern = id;

var newString = myString.replace(pattern,""
PA.detailsProduct.value=newString ;

}

(untested)
function addProductArea(id){
var myString=PA.detailsProduct.value;
var bln_IDFound=false;
var pattern = id;
var newArray = myString.Split(","
for (var i=0; i<newArray.length; i++)
if (!bln_IDFound && newArray == id){
bln_IDFound=true;//Comment this out to
//remove all instances of 'id'
newArray = &quot;&quot;;
}
var newString = &quot;&quot;;
for (var i=0; i<newArray.length; i++)
if (newArray != &quot;&quot//comment out
//this line to include double commas
newString += &quot;,&quot; + newArray;
}
PA.detailsProduct.value=newString;
} codestorm
