    Need help with JavaScript Replace Method for multiple textboxes

    Hi,

    Can anyone please tell me how I can use the replace method to replace
    a character if it occures in more than one textbox without having to
    write separate function for each textbox.

    The code below is the basic way to use the replace method but it only
    allows for one textbox.

    I'm sure I need a loop in there but I'm not sure how to use that
    without affecting the replace method.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    var pattern = /\'/g;
    form.textfield1 .value = replaceStr.repl ace(pattern, "''");
    }

          Mick,
          Thanks for your quick reply.

          I used your suggestion and developed a for loop but the apostrophes
          are not getting replace when the form is submitted. Can you please
          take a look at the for loop code and see if you can find anything
          wrong. Thank you!!

          -------------

          <script Language = "JavaScript " Type="text/javascript">

          function stringReplace(f orm)
          {
          var replaceStr = form.value
          var patter = /\'/g;
          form.value = replaceStr.repl ace(pattern, "'");
          var elem = form.elements[i];

          for (i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
          }

          if(form.type == "text")
          {
          stringReplace(e lem);
          }
          }
          }

          </script>

          ....html...<for m method="POST" action="ER_AddP ost.asp" name="form1"
          onsubmit="strin gReplace(this.f orm)">
