Cleaning curly quotes from DCR field

jl3525

I've been trying to use FormAPI (not terribly successfully!) to clean out curly quotes from a DCR field. I can't come up with a way to define the curly quote in my script that actually works. See script:

function init()
{
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSave", onSave );
IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/Headline", "onItemChange", onChange);
//alert ("In Init");

}

function onSave(button)
{
alert("yeah, in save");
}

function onChange(item)
{
//alert("in onChange");
var obj,value;
obj = IWDatacapture.getItem("/Headline");
value = obj.getValue();
//value = value.replace(/curlyquote/g, "singlequote");
item.setValue( value );
alert (value);
//return true;
}

init();

I've tried all the different special character codes and such for the value. replace; still no luck. Anybody have any ideas for me?

which characters have you tried?

" = quotation mark
“ = left double quote
‘ = left single quote
’ = right single quote
” = right double quote
