I've been trying to figure out a way to replace part of a string in an input value, but haven't been able to get it working.
The input field looks like this:
<input type="text" value="20,54,26,99" name="ids" />
I've tried:
$('input[name=ids]').val().replace("54,","");
and
var replit = $('input[name=ids]').val();
replit.replace("54,","");
$('input[name=ids]').val(replit);
but neither worked?
$('input[name=ids]').val(function(index, value) {
return value.replace('54,', '');
});
I've just tried this
$('#title').val($('#title').val().replace("54,",""))
and it worked so i assume that it's the way you call the element "$('input[name=ids]')", why don't you try using an id selector?
$('#ids')
# in the jquery selector is for the 'id' attribute... won't select an element with a name of 'ids'...
getElementById() too much :D
try
replit = replit.replace("54,","");
var replit = $('input[name=ids]').val().replace("54,","");
$('input[name=ids]').val(replit);
hope that helps :)
EDIT: if you want a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Damien_at_SF/XQQC2/

I used this method, however I also included a line of code that replaces part of a string.
var matval = document.getElementById("MaterialNumber").value;
var matNum = matval.replace("P", "");
document.getElementById("MaterialNumber").value = "";
document.getElementById("MaterialNumber").value = matNum;
Generally I would not have cleared out the field before putting in the new string, but it did not work like that in this case, This might have been caused by the input method being a barcode scanner and set into a function based on a keypress of that said barcode scanner.
