[Javascript] Help with JS Replace function

[Shawn Milochik]

Sure. You could use regular expressions.

For the <img /> situation, you could match on
something like (untested):
(<img[^>+])(>)

Replace with:
$1/$2

I'm not off to the pub, but I do have
to be at my martial arts class soon,
so if this answer is too vague, or
you don't know what a regular expression
is, post again, and I'll write up a small
working script for you when I return,
if nobody else jumps in and does it in the meantime.
