Thanks Dennis, I took a look and found a couple of examples, and have it
working TO a point. What I really want to do is, call a function that lets
me pass the regular expression , but not sure hwo to do this. Ok, that’s a
bit broad, what I have done is this :-
*************************************************************
<script type="javascript">
function changeit(svalue)
{
var str=document.form1.msg.value;
document.form1.msg.value = str.replace(svalue, '');
}
</script>
Then on the control I go :-
onclick="changit('/Jeremy/i');"
*************************************************************
This would replace Jeremy with an empty string. But this doesn’t work, and I
suspect its because of the way I am passing the regular expression.
Can you tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks Jeremy

2 scenarios:
1. If the textarea is read only (i.e., the user is not able to key in
text), instead of removing the value, why don't the function recalculates
what needs to be in the textarea and replace the whole value.
2. If the textarea is not read-only, use regular expression to find the
text and remove it. Use the replace method in javascript string - look it
up on MSDN online. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to get
away with not using regular expressions. The replace method can work with
both regular expressions or simple string replacement.
Dennis.
