Finding multiple characters and replacing with JQuery

rated 0 times [ 115] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 19413 / 13 Years ago, wed, february 15, 2012, 12:00:00

I have the following JQuery AJAX call that sends HTML form data to my server side script to deal with. However I currently find line breaks and convert them to <br /> for display in another part of my application. I now need to make sure I am stripping out apostrophes however I am not confident on how to replace multiple characters in one go.

This is the JQuery I use currently before adding this into my AJAX.

description = $(#description).val().replace(/n/g, '<br />');

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

You don't have to do it in one go in the sense of one call to .replace(), just chain multiple .replace() calls:

description = $(#description).val().replace(/n/g, '<br />')

                                     .replace(/'/g, '');

(Or replace with ''' or ''' if that's what you need...)
