javascript remove function not valid

I'm trying to debug this function in Firefox/Firebug and it says that "dbasedata.remove" is not a function??

function dbasetype(){

var dbasedata = document.forms[0]._dbase_name.value;
        dbasedata = dbasedata.toUpperCase();
        dbasedata = dbasedata.replace(/\s/g, "");
        dbasedata = dbasedata.remove("UK_CONTACTS","");

if (dbasedata != "") {
        _area.value = _dbase_name.value;            
    } }

A string object does not have a Remove() function. Firebug is correct. You might want to use replace() instead:

function dbasetype(){

var dbasedata = document.forms[0]._dbase_name.value;
        dbasedata = dbasedata.toUpperCase();
        dbasedata = dbasedata.replace(/\s/g, "");
        dbasedata = dbasedata.replace("UK_CONTACTS","");

if (dbasedata != "") {
        _area.value = _dbase_name.value;            
    } }

Use

dbasedata = dbasedata.replace(/UK_CONTACTS/, "");

instead.

It's because JavaScript strings have no such method as remove().

You can see the available methods here.

If you want to replace "UK_CONTACTS" with "" then see the replace() method instead:

dbasedata = dbasedata.replace("UK_CONTACTS","");
