O.P. [RESOLVED] JavaScript: Remove <table>blah</table>
I've tried...
code:
string.replace(/<table([^%]+)</table>/ig,"");
...but it doesn't seem to be working.

RE: JavaScript: Remove <table>blah</table>
Are you trying to replace everything including the <table></table>?

Yes, the table tags, and everything they contain.

Javascript code:
// IGNORE -> html = html.replace(/\<table\>.+?\<\/table\>/gi, "");
html = html.replace(/\<table.+?table\>/gi, "");


Should do it.

EDIT:
Changed it to allow for attributes in the table tag such as styles, class, id etc.

New one isn't working either. I don't know if it's your code,or my code that I've  pasted it to though.

I replaced the code with one that removes square brackets and that works, so...it seems like it's your code. Not to insult though, I really appreciate the help, it's just not working.

Yes, it does work. Maybe there is some strange character in the html?

EDIT: Try adding the m modifier to make it run over multiple lines... My test was on a single line basis

Well...it's not working with my code for some reason. I don't know why. What strange character in the HTML could stop it from working?

Also, I'm fairly new to JavaScript, so it's quite likely it's something I've done (or haven't done). Everything else is working though. I just need this one line finished and I think it'll be finished lol

Line breaks are casuing it to break and I can't get the m modifier to work so we can add an extra replace.

Javascript code:
html = html.replace(/\n/gi, "").replace(/\<table.+?table\>/gi, "");


If you wanted to, you could replace the \n with a unique string so it can be put back together again...

Javascript code:
html = html.replace(/\n/gi, "this-used-to-be-a-line-break").replace(/\<table.+?table\>/gi, "");
html = html.replace(/this-used-to-be-a-line-break/gi, "\n");
// This is just so the source formatting looks good when viewed,
// rather than all being on one line
