How do I capture a character that is typed into a textarea and change it to another character?
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function replace(string,text,by) {
// Replaces text with by in string
var strLength = string.length, txtLength = text.length;
if ((strLength == 0) || (txtLength == 0)) return string;
var i = string.indexOf(text);
if ((!i) && (text != string.substring(0,txtLength))) return string;
if (i == -1) return string;
var newstr = string.substring(0,i) + by;
if (i+txtLength < strLength)
newstr += replace(string.substring(i+txtLength,strLength),te xt,by);
return newstr;
}
//--></SCRIPT>
<FORM NAME="myForm">
<TEXTAREA COLS="20" ROWS="10" onChange="this.value=replace(this.value,'x','y')"> </TEXTAREA>
</FORM>
Thanks... |
