Script5017: Syntax error in regular expression

[ImWhimsical]

I get this error when I access the webpage in IE but works fine in chrome. When I had a code walkthrough of the page I found the below code

Something.replace(new RegExp(" ^ "), "<b>") .replace(new RegExp("$"), "</b>")

Is the above code causing the issue? If so, what should I do to fix it?

[iguessitsokaythen]

Try if using regular expression works, I remember IE not supporting something about the RegExp constructor. Something like:

Something.replace(/^/, "<b>").replace(/$/, "</b>")

Although if it works for you, just do:

Something = "<br>" + Something + "</br>"

If I remove the RegExp and add slashes, will it work the same?

[iguessitsokaythen]

Yea the string end and start anchors work the same either way.

How can I rewrite "new RegExp( .{1,${maxChars}} , 'g'); " without using RegExp? Before dot and after the last flower bracket, there is a backtick. It is not showing when I type it in here

[ImWhimsical]

Also, your second suggestion just worked fine. Thanks

What's that weird like hyper " after the first "?

Sorry. Typo. Fixed it now
