NON BREAKING SPACE ISSUE

In some browsers

(MSIE "as usually" ;-))

replacing space in string ignores the non-breaking space (the 160 char code).

One should always replace like this:

myString.replace(/[ \u00A0]/, myReplaceString)

Very nice detailed explanation:

Use a regular expression with the g modifier   var replaced   str replace    g          From Using Regular Expressions with JavaScript and ActionScript       g enables  global  matching  When using the replace   method  specify this modifier to replace all matches  rather than only the first one

You need the  g  global  option  like this   var replaced   str replace    g          You can give it a try here   Unlike most other languages  JavaScript  by default  only replaces the first occurrence
