Hello Kunal,

I am using the below code in my Client Script, but its not working.

function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var a = g_form.getValue('description');
var b = a.replace(/<\/?[^>]+(>|$)/g, "");
g_form.setValue(b);
}

Thanks & Regards,

S.Swaroop.

Hi Swaroop,

Is description field a html field? if yes then why you want html tags to be removed;

if it is string field then why html tags are added to it as it doesn't make any sense adding those

Can you provide details on above

Hello Ankur,

Thanks for the quick response.

Description field is "String" type and data coming to "Description" field is from another HTML field. While data getting updated from HTML field to "Description" field, it was coming with HTML tags. So, i want to remove those HTML tags using "Onload" client script.

Thanks & Regards,
