html - Textarea - JavaScript | Remove line breaks and spaces from content field -


<textarea rows='5' cols='50' id='content'></textarea> <input type='button' value='extract text' onclick='somefunction()'/> 

assume these 2 html elements. problem following:

let's user enters textarea field this, typed. line breaks , spaces. (and yes, python :p)

if (...):      print "hello everyone!" else:    print "dudes me out!" 

my objective make javascript function removes spaces , line breaks (typed 'enter') , returns space-less string. "thisisasampletext". i've used document.getelementbyid('content').value , mystring.replace(/\s+/g, '') remove spaces. can't make work. ideas?

best regards

here's live demo of how use regex described remove whitespace in text textarea:

function somefunction() {      var output = document.getelementbyid("content").value;      output = output.replace(/\s/g, "")       document.getelementbyid("output").innerhtml = output;  }
<textarea rows='5' cols='50' id='content'></textarea>  <input type='button' value='extract text' onclick='somefunction()'/>  <div id="output"></div>
