handy Javascript debugging function

November 21st, 2007 No comments

Actually taken from the JS v1.4 Guide and modified to be a little more useful:

function showme(obj, obj_name) {
   var result = ""
   var null_list = "";
   obj_name = (obj_name != '')? obj_name: 'obj';
   for (var i in obj) {
		if(obj[i] != null && obj[i] != '')
			result += obj_name + "." + i + " = " + obj[i] + "\n";
		else
			null_list += i + ", ";
   }
   return result + "\n NULL propertys: \n" + null_list;
}

Pass it an object you want to see the properties of and it will show them to you. Like so:

alert(showme(item[i]));

Regular Expression to remove HTML tables

September 12th, 2006 5 comments

Just figured out this regular expression to remove all tables from a HTML document:

</?table[^>]*>|</?tr[^>]*>|</?td[^>]*>|</?thead[^>]*>|</?tbody[^>]*>

Extremely useful for cleaning up prehistoric mark-up with a text editor that supports regular expression find-and-replace searches.

And to go all the way, this one removes font tags too:

</?table[^>]*>|</?tr[^>]*>|</?td[^>]*>|</?thead[^>]*>|</?tbody[^>]*>|</?font[^>]*>
