For my little web app I'm using data from an external site, retrieving with AJAX-requests. The idea is to parse the correct data out the plaintext html-data using a simple JavaScript parser (there are a couple on the net).
Unfortunately for me, the external site uses a stupid CMS which spews out as meta-tag.
As you would already notice, the content-attribute is missing a " and the htmlparser doesn't like that.
I thought it isn't a big deal when I'll just replace it. Code to probe here:
// Obviously the rest of the html is cut out to make it more readable:
var data = "<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\"/>";
data.replace( /\"text\/html;/gi, "\"text/html\"" );
console.log( data );
Unfortunately it didn't work, and I'd like to keep the \"text/html; part in the regex instead of html; for example to make sure that other things in the data don't break. I tried may variations of this regex (like removing the \", adding .+ and so on), but it didn't work either.
What is going wrong here?
