Disable or Replace Some HTML Tags

I have a online webpage. There has a code placed by default:-

<body><center><table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top" align="center"><div class="webpage_body" style="text-align: left;">

I am facing many issues with this code. It is placed after </head> tag. I want to disable or replace it via JavaScript or CSS. I've tried to replace it into an unknown HTML by javascript:-

var s="<center><table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top" align="center"><div class="webpage_body" style="text-align: left;">"; s = s.replace(/<center>/g, "<c>"); s = s.replace(/<table>/g,"<ta>"); s = s.replace(/<tr>/g,"<fr>"); alert(s);

But nothing happens to it. (Edit:) Also I can't replace the <table because it isn't <table>! How can I do this?

You've got a typo in there. You're using " for the HTML string but inside of the HTML, you use " too. That will break it. Just try to use ' at the beginning and the end of the string.

This is how it looks if you are using a editor: String with "

This if how it looks if you are wrap it with ' instead of " String with ' instead of "

The Boxes are there to visualize the strings.

Here's the working example:

var s = '<center><table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td valign="top" align="center"><div class="webpage_body" style="text-align: left;">';
s = s.replace(/<center>/g, "<c>");
s = s.replace(/<table>/g, "<ta>");
s = s.replace(/<tr>/g, "<fr>");
alert(s);

Just a little hint: In your example, <table> will never be replaced because your example has no <table>. Only <table.

You can do this with s.replace(/<table/g, "<ta"); or s.replace(/table/g, "ta");.
