I use a shopping cart for my online storefront. The cart automatically displays the weight of each item, for example "Weight: 3.00 lbs. each". Does anyone have sample code that would search for and remove any string starting with "Weight" and ending with "each"?

Thanks in advance...John

string.replace(/Weight.*Each/,"")

The program didn't do anything wrong; it did exactly what you told it to!

Thanks for the help. Now what do I do with this. I put it in the Body of the html and nothing happened. Is there other syntax that needs to go around it?

Sorry for the newbie qustion.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- hide from old browsers

function removeWeights()
{
  var myform = window.document.myform; // change to your form's name
  var mytext = myform.tbox // change to your textbox's name
  mytext.value = mytext.value.replace(/^Weight.*Each$/ig,"") 
}
// end hide -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" onSubmit="removeWeights();">
<textbox name="tbox">
</textbox>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks, but I don't think I accurately described my need. Below is a sample of the basket from my cart. The weight is dynamically generated by the cart. I'm looking to have the code automatically loop through the page upon loading and remove all the lines that give the weight.

OK then...

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function removeWeights()
{	document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(/Weight.*Each/ig,"");
}
</script>

If you have access to any tag that contains HTML you want to change, use it instead of document.body.
