How to use replace function in jsp

[Wu Tang]

Hello,

I�m trying to remove a character �$� from my jsp form before its submitted to the database since the database doesn�t accept �$�. I�ve been reading about the replace function but I�m unsure how to implement it. Does anyone know how to implement the replace function in JSP? Here is a snippet of my code:
javascript:%20x()
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="left"><b>Estimated Total Partner Funds::</b>
<br><html:text property="estTotalFunds" styleClass="required" />
</td>
</tr>
javascript:%20x()

The property=estTotalFunds is the variable that contains the values. Essentially, the value comes in $22.00 and I need it to be 22.00 before I submit it to the database.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If you need to change the data before it is written to the database, that should be handled in the code that writes to the database -- not at the UI level.

The '$' character is being appended to the value in a database script the '$' character is only for display purposes and I need to remove it before I submit the data to the database.

Then remove it in the code just before it's written to the DB.

Thank you for your replies. I understand what needs to be done the question is how to go about doing it.

Have you checked the methods on the String class?
