Escape character HTML code in bussiness rule

[davidgustafsson]

I am trying to remove white space from signature in emails. In this I found that the HTML field that I use are automatically  adding an extra line of HTML code:

<p >&nbsp;</p >

What I try to do is to add a business rule to remove this line as the user record with this HTML field is saved. But I can´t even find out how to add the escape characters correctly to point at that line.

You can use   .replace("<p >&nbsp;</p >", "");

Are you fetching the HTML Value or String Value?

You can try this once

var text = current.u_text.getHTMLValue();
text = text.replace("<p >&nbsp;</p >","");
current.u_text = text;
