I think this might be possible somehow with some regular expressions... but im still searching for a concrete solution... greets, john hi, very nice script. i like this replacement-stuff with javascript, because you can use it for so much different things, its interesting.

Was just what I was looking for. I have been reading and re-reading, editing and re-editing again and again, and am a little stuck however. What if I wanted to find and replace two fields? How about three? I can't quite seem to work out what would change to allow me to do this. If perhaps you could help me with this I would be very grateful. Cheers, Panda Hi, really great tutorial thanks! Was just what I was looking for.

Here it is minus the brackets Param name = "OptimalDurationMultiplier value="" Colin Sorry about that but the example code seems to have been removed.

Here it is minus the brackets
Param name = “OptimalDurationMultiplier value=”"

I am creating a form which will output xml code for windows movie maker title files. I am managing to get javascript to output the code to a text-area (with the ID set as codeoutput). What I need is to find lines which contain "" as shown in example below. Once found I need javascript to delete all instances of these lines containing the empty quotes. Note: the strings of these lines can vary but will always contain empty quotes. Can this be done? If so could you please post the code to do it. Many thanks in advance and a Happy New Year to you. Regards Colin Hi there

It solved a problem for me very quickly and after a couple of tweeks it serves as a nice little code generator/modifier for flv movie content. Thanks again!
