I need to remove the $ and , and any white space from a text field. Anyone got a quick and easy fix? Thanks a million.

When faced with a decision, always ask, 'Which would be the most fun?'

This isn't a full answer. You want something to trim whitespace to remove it from the beginning & end. What I have posted only converts doubles into singles

You could use substring but I suspect someone else will post a cleaner solution.

content = forms[0].textarea.value;
multi = new RegExp(' ', 'gi');
single = ' ';
content = content.replace(multi,single);
forms[0].textarea.value = content;

This is a perfect place for a regular expression and the replace method:

var myRE = /[\$\s]/g;
theString = theString.replace(myRE,"");
