removing html tags

[nolsie]

how do I remove the html tags when I display text in a TextArea? :-/

You could try something like


function stripTags(str) {
str = str.replace(/<.*>/g, '');
return str;
}

I think that should remove all instances of <.*> from the string.

There wouldn't be a way to get them back, however.

maybe htmldecode?

I decided to use stripTags, but I get a [object Object] in the TextArea!



dsDocument.on('load', function(){
var str = Ext.util.Format;
str.stripTags(dsDocument.getAt(0).data.content );

content_field.setValue(str);
form.render('document');
});


content_field is my TextArea.

Set a BP on that line and verify that you're actually passing a string to stripTags.
