Help with conversion
Posted 16 April 2011 - 10:14 PM
Hi I'm having trouble (with an assignment) converting ampersands to "and". I'm out of ideas on how to get this functional. And tips or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Is This A Good Question/Topic?

Hey.
Firstly, you're probably going to want to put the myString and newString variables inside the function, or they will just be set once when the page loads, which means the myString variable will always be the initial value of your formText input, which is presumably empty.
That said, you may want to check out the String.replace function.
