Question

jslint reports message Insecure ‘.’.

at line

html = /<body.*?>([\s\S]*)<\/body>/.exec(responseText);

How to fix this ?

Update

After body and before closing bracket there may be attributes so \s? cannot used. Javascript is running in browser, jQuery is used.
Which is best way to extract body element content from string instead of this?

Answer 1

You may try something like this if you really want it to match everything and don’t want the jslint error.

var everything = /.*?/;// not jslint acceptable
var all = /[\w\W]*?/;// jslint acceptable

basically it says any word character and any non-word character… which pretty much covers everything.
