Thread: aspdnsf:StripHtml() does not strip out  

aspdnsf:StripHtml() does not seem to strip out everything this " " is still left in the description text string and is breaking my Pinterest and FB postings

<xsl:param name="pDes" select="aspdnsf:StripHtml(aspdnsf:GetMLValue(Descr iption))"></xsl:param>

StripHTML removes HTML tags, that's all. It uses a regex to find things like <whatever> or </whatever> and removes those.

If you have specific characters or strings you want to remove from something, a string filter or double translate is usually the way to go.

This will strip out common data that breaks feeds, and can be called after the StripHtml() method. Call the template and pass in the field you want the data cleaned up with:

Code:

	
<xsl:call-template name="cleanData">
	<xsl:with-param select="Description" name="data" />
</xsl:call-template>

And the template:

Code:

<xsl:template name="cleanData">
	<xsl:param name="data"/>
	<xsl:param name="data2">
	    <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue($data)" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="data3">
	    <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StrReplace($data2, '|', '')" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="data4">
	     <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StrReplace($data3, '\n', '')" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="data5">
	     <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StrReplace($data4, '&#xA;', '')" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="data6">
		<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StrReplace($data5, '&#xD;', '')" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:param name="data7">
		<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StripHtml($data6)" />
	</xsl:param>
	<xsl:value-of select="$data7" />
</xsl:template>
