regular expression gives different output in FF and IE

Question

My problem is that when I use this code:

var queuediv = document.getElementById(\'MSO_ContentTable\');
var total = get_text(queuediv);
countTotal = total.split(/         


        

Answer 1

You are splitting by white space characters (line breaks, tabs ...). These seems to vary in DOM representation of different browsers. I assume you are trying to split words. Try:

total.split(/ /).length;

or

total.replace(/\n\r\f/, '').split(/\s/).length

you may replace \v and \t also.
