[frontline]

Hello
i have simple string validation script , and i like to add some kind of (RegExp preferred) check
that will replace me the "<" and ">" chars to its escape code so i could view strings like "<foo>" in the html page .
thanks

If I follow what you mean use &lt; to display < and &gt; to display > in your html source

str = str.replace(/</g, '&amp;lt;')
