My favourite way is probably the following:
I've commented out the
but you can put them back in if you want to see what's going on.
HTH.
Code:
function removeDuplicates( dupeArray ) {
var unduped = new Object; var unique = new Array;
for ( i = 0; i < dupeArray.length; i++ ) {
unduped[ dupeArray[ i ] ] = dupeArray[ i ];
}
for ( k in unduped ) {
unique.push( unduped[ k ] );
}
return unique;
}
var s = "Tom Dick Harry Bob Tom Dick"; // alert( s );
s_unique = removeDuplicates( s.split( " " ) ); // alert( s_unique.join( " " ) );I've commented out the
Code:
alerts()HTH.

A-ha! I found the other thread you guys were talking about. 
I don't see anything wrong with xutopia's code, but I don't have a Mac to test it on either.
Does the method I gave you above work?

Here's a method using Reg Exp:

Code:
<html><head><script>
function remdup(str) {
d = document.tst.tstval;
var ckvals = str.split(" ");
tmp = str;
for(i=0;i<ckvals.length;i++) {
retmp = new RegExp(ckvals[i],"g");
found = tmp.match(retmp);
if(found.length > 1) {
retmp = new RegExp(ckvals[i]);
ckvals.splice(i,1);
tmp = tmp.replace(retmp,""); i--;}
}
d.value = ckvals.join(" ");}
</script></head><body><form name="tst">
<input type="text" name="tstval" size="40" value="val1 val2 val3 val4 val2 val2">
<input type="button" value="Rem Dup" onClick="remdup(document.tst.tstval.value);"></form>
</body></html>2b||!2b

Hello everyone. Thanks for your codes. Finally I got the chance to test them on the Mac OS9. Here are the results:
theboyhope, only the first alert is working, the second is not even poping up.
Lrnmore, clicking on the 'Rem Dup' button doesnot produce any results/changes.
I am just curious how many of you guys or other developers (if you have such information) actually test your code on Macs?
I am not a Mac person myself, just happened to test some of my previous websites on Mac and was surprised that some of the things weren't the way they should've been.
