ASP Replace in HTML

Script version:1.0

Rating:

Category:Strings
Description:This function is designed to replace text in HTML strings so that only the non HTML code is replaced.

If the searched for phrase is found in the body of the HTML, then the function will firstly check that the phrase is not located inside opening and closing html delimeters, and then secondly will check to make sure that the text is not withing <a> and </a> tags. This means you can replace the text with a glossary link or popup window without affecting the HTML code or the links on the page.

The replace function is also case insensitive. If you want the replace function to be case sensitive, then you can change the compare parameter of the instr and instrrev functions.
Instructions:try using the function like this:

myHTML = "here is some HTML. I love html <img src="images/i-love-html.gif" alt="Loving the HtML"> this is a <a href="page.html">page about html here</a>."

glossarylink = "<a href="#" onclick="window.open('glosary.php#html')">html</a>"

myNewHTML = replaceHTML(myHTML,"html",glossarylink)

response.write myNewHTML

--- this will output:

"here is some <a href="#" onclick="window.open('glosary.php#html')">html</a>. I love<a href="#" onclick="window.open('glosary.php#html')">html</a> <img src="images/i-love-html.gif" alt="Loving the HtML"> this is a <a href="page.html">page about html here</a>."
