I am not an experienced javascript coder so what I have probably can be done in a better way. However I need to take the text string from the text box on the form and replace the returns for text so I can then test the data. How do I replace the returns.

Example Code:

function checkCmnts()
{
var x = document.forms[0].Comments.value;
var filter1 = /^.+url=http+.+$/;
var filter2 = /^.+<+.+$/;
var filter3 = /^.+>+.+$/;
if (filter1.test(x)) document.forms[0].Comments.value = '';if (filter1.test(x)) exit;
if (filter2.test(x)) document.forms[0].Comments.value = '';
if (filter1.test(x)) exit;
if (filter3.test(x)) document.forms[0].Comments.value = '';if (filter1.test(x)) exit;
}

Maybe this will give you some ideas:

<textarea name="comments" id="comments" rows="9" cols="15"></textarea> 
</div> 
</form> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
window.onload = function() { 
  var c = document.getElementById('comments'); 
  c.onchange = function() { 
    var s = this.value; 
    s = s.replace(/\r\n/g,"::"); 
    alert(s); 
  }; 
}; 
</script> 
</body>

Thanks. I've seen simular pieces of code, but couldn't make it work until now.
