Hello,

I want to remove from string a tag, but with leave the value of
that tag.

I have that code:

theExp = new RegExp("", "g");
txt = txt.replace(theExp, "");

theExp1 = new RegExp("<\/span>", "g");
txt = txt.replace(theExp1, "");

and this works only with FF,
With IE it doesn't remove the tag.
With Opera the same

thanks a lot for help and sorry form my english

best regards
Artur

What is the initial value of txt then you try with? I have no problems
with IE or Opera with for instance the initial value
var txt = 'Kibology for all.';
Which is the exact version of IE and Opera that code allgededly fails with?
I have tried with IE 6 and Opera 9.

In my example I directly use labels[i].innerHTML insted of txt (as
txt=labels[i].innerHTML).
Where I do that everythink is ok

Then the most plausible explanation is that IE's and Opera's innerHTML
produces tags in upper case.
A quick check shows that it is at least the case for Opera.

You can add "i" to the flags of the regexps to ignore case.
