Hi People,

I found this here: http://www.stemkoski.com/what-is-javascript%E2%80%99s-equivalent-to-php-strip_tags/

	/***************************************************
	STRIP HTML TAGS
	****************************************************/
	function strip_tags(html){
 
		//PROCESS STRING
		if(arguments.length < 3) {
			html=html.replace(/<\/?(?!\!)[^>]*>/gi, '');
		} else {
			var allowed = arguments[1];
			var specified = eval("["+arguments[2]+"]");
			if(allowed){
				var regex='</?(?!(' + specified.join('|') + '))\b[^>]*>';
				html=html.replace(new RegExp(regex, 'gi'), '');
			} else{
				var regex='</?(' + specified.join('|') + ')\b[^>]*>';
				html=html.replace(new RegExp(regex, 'gi'), '');
			}
		}
 
		//CHANGE NAME TO CLEAN JUST BECAUSE 
		var clean_string = html;
 
		//RETURN THE CLEAN STRING
		return clean_string;

The way it would be used:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
