Javascript remove everything after colon except some words

I have address like this
"8 51209 Rge Rd 950 Road: Rural Parkland County House for sale : MLS®# E4125520"
What i want is I want to remove everything after : but keep Rural Parkland Country. so address becomes this
"8 51209 Rge Rd 950 Road Rural Parkland County"
Just to mention the address is dynamic and not static. i have e.g 10 posts having similar address.
Here is what i have
var splittitle = $(".listing-item-entry-title", this).html();
if (splittitle != null){
splittitle = splittitle.replace(/ *\:[^)]*\: */g, ": ");
$(".listing-item-entry-title", this).html(splittitle);
}
Thanks

You can simply split the string with the split(separator, limit) function and use the first part. Do something like this:
var address = "8 51209 Rge Rd 950 Road: Rural Parkland County House for sale : MLS®# E4125520";
var short_addresses = address.split(":", 2);
var short_address2 = short_addresses[1].split(" ", 4).join(' ');
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = short_address2;

Truncating or Summarizing Text with html part in HTML

Am loading some blog data from a database with title and body but the body contains some HTML and CSS codes like the following below in the JSON data
{[News_Body: "<span style=\"color: black;\">The Lagos State Local Government
Election Appeal Tribunal have received 22 Appeals from the July
22 council polls in Lagos State.<br />\n <br />\n The
Chairperson of the 2017 Local Government Election Appeal
Tribunal, Justice G. M Onyeabo, stated this today 25th of
October at the tribunal's inaugural sitting. <br />\n <br
/>\n The tribunal had earlier been inaugurated on the 23 of
October, 2017 pursuant to Section 7 of the Local Government
Election Tribunal Law 2008, will hear and determine the appeals

The problem I have is taking the body and summarizing its contents. I tried the following but it did not work as expected.
using CSS
.truncate {
height: 200px;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Loading the data dynamically with javascript because it is coming from database
var p = document.createElement('p');
p.setAttribute('style', 'text-align:center; color: #ffffff !important;');
p.setAttribute('class', 'truncate');
var newSum = summary.split('<br />');;
p.innerHTML = newSum[0];
but the problem with the above is that not all object.News_Body contains a line break <br />. I don't have control as to how the data is stored, I just process what am given. Sadly :(

If jQuery is an option you could achieve something very quickly using the text function and some string manipulation.
var text = $("<div>" + content.News_Body + "</div>").text().substring(0, 3) + "..."
Just replace the 3 with your max content length. So substring(0, 10) will show 10 characters etc...
EDIT:
Using the link that #FMK posted at Strip HTML from Text JavaScript it would look like:
var text = strip("<div>" + content.News_Body + "</div>").substring(0, 3) + "..."
Which is a non-jquery option too.

I combined the two replies and I did this.
var p = document.createElement('p');
p.setAttribute('style', 'text-align:center; color: #ffffff !important;');
p.setAttribute('class', '');// removed my css truncate style class
var s = strip(summary).substring(0, 300) + "...";
p.innerHTML = s;
I got the strip function from Strip HTML from Text JavaScript
Thanks for the quick replies. You guys are awsome!!

xml data scraping more advanced than me [closed]

Thanks for coming and understand I am new to this. So what seems easy to some is new to me.
I did some research on how to use javascript and/or php to pull data from an .xml file. I also can pull this .xml data into a mobile app using html5 canvas ( Construct 2 )
My issue is not related to nodes per se, But then again it is.
As it is easier if the node had text like this one.
<item>Hi There</item>
instead of subnodes like the one I wish to scrape.
<item game="powerball" nextjp="$67 Million" nextdd="Wednesday, August 10, 2016" winnum="20-33-36-47-52 PB12 X3" windd="Saturday, August 6, 2016" myflv="widget_pb.flv" winnumNM="20-33-36-47-52 PB12" name="POWERBALL">
I wish to break down the node so that it reads
Game
Next Jackpot
Next drawing
Winning Numbers
Game Played Date
It would have been easy for me if I could find an xml that already had the Nodes for each instead of all them inside one node. So with that said I don't need a full detailed script demo, I just need a basic overview of how it is done to get the subnode data. Thanks Jeremy C.

In this case I've loaded the entire XML from a string. In real case, you'll need to probably pull it using ajax.
Note: the URL you added in comments from which I got this xml from doesnt have 'Allow * Origin Header" so, ajax from there will create a CORS error.

How to format a timestamp in android Webview using javascript

I want to format a timestamp such as 1406270888 to Sunday, July 25, 2014 12:48:08 PM in a WebView on android device.
My Javascript code is as follows:
<script>
var chatTimestamp=parseInt(1406270888);
var date = new Date(chatTimestamp*1000);
var localTime =date.toLocaleDateString()+ " "+ date.toLocaleTimeString();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = localTime;
</script>
But the output I get is as follows:
Sunday, July 25, 2014 12:48:08
So Basically AM PM is missing.
Source: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_tolocaletimestring.asp
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Try this script
<script type="text/javascript">
var chatTimestamp=parseInt(1406270888);
var date = new Date(chatTimestamp*1000);
document.write(date.toString());
document.write(date.getFullYear()+'-'+date.getMonth()+'-'+date.getDate()+' '+date.getHours()+':'+date.getMinutes()+':'+date.getSeconds());
</script>

ExtJS's XmlReader field mapping

I can't manage to get this Ext.data.XmlReader's CDATA field mapping to work.
<script>
var store = new Ext.data.Store({
url: '../data/data.xml',
// specify a XmlReader
reader: new Ext.data.XmlReader({
record: 'entry',
fields:[
{ name: 'field1', type: 'date', mapping:'field1'},
{ name: 'field2', type: 'string', mapping:'field2'}
]
}),
listeners:{load:function(store,recs)
{ //alert row1.field1 and row1.field2
var s = 'field1 = '+recs[0].get('field1') + '\nfield2 = '+recs[0].get('field2');
alert(s);
}
}
});
store.load();
</script>
And here's the XML contents in data.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<entry>
<field1>01/01/2006</field1>
<field2>
<![CDATA[
<Comment>
Test
</Comment>
]]>
</field2>
</entry>
</feed>
When store finished loading . The alert (from the listener) shows some thing like this:
field1 = Sun Jan 01 2006 00:00:00 GMT+0700 (ICT)
field2 =
But I expected to see this :
field1 = Sun Jan 01 2006 00:00:00 GMT+0700 (ICT)
field2 = <Comment>
Test
</Comment>
These issue only happen in chrome and safari.it works with IE6.
How do I get the field2 node value (preferably, the solution works across major browsers),
any suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.
Owat

The <![CDATA[ start tag must start immediately after the XML tag with no space in between and the ]]> end tag must be followed immediately by the XML tag close, like this:
<field2><![CDATA[
<Comment>
Test
</Comment>
]]></field2>
