I am coding a template for eBay. However, eBay does not allow .replace. The code below is for a rollover tab section.When the user hovers over tab(a), the correspodning div div(a) is made to become visible. Is there a workaround to get the code to work without using .replace? var divs = new Array();
divs.push("contentPayment");
divs.push("contentShipping");
divs.push("contentWarranty");
divs.push("contentContact");
var navs = new Array();
navs.push("nav1");
navs.push("nav2");
navs.push("nav3");
navs.push("nav4");

asked Oct 7, 2012 at 15:18 2 You may try this as an alternative of replace function String.prototype.fakeReplace = function(str, newstr) {
return this.split(str).join(newstr);
};
var str = "Welcome javascript";
str = str.fakeReplace('javascript', '');
alert(str); // Welcome

For a more efficient, but slightly longer method, use this: String.prototype.myReplace = function(pattern, nw) {
var curidx = 0, len = this.length, patlen = pattern.length, res = "";
while(curidx < len) {
var nwidx = this.indexOf(pattern, curidx);
console.log(nwidx);
if(nwidx == -1) {
break;
}
res = res + this.substr(curidx, nwidx - curidx);
res = res + nw;
curidx = nwidx + patlen;
}
return res;
};
alert("Glee is awesome".myReplace("awesome", "very very very awesome"));

Does JavaScript have replaceAll?
JavaScript String replaceAll()
The replaceAll() method returns a new string with all matches of a pattern replaced by a replacement.
Why replaceAll is not working in JS?
The "replaceAll" is not a function error occurs when we call the replaceAll() method on a value that is not of type string, or in a browser that doesn't support the method. To solve the error, only call the replaceAll() method on strings in supported browsers.
What does public string replaceAll replace?
public String replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)
The replaceAll() method replaces each substring of this string that matches the given regular expression with the given replacement.
What can I use instead of substring in JavaScript?
Introduction to the JavaScript String replace() method
The JavaScript String replace() method returns a new string with a substring ( substr ) replaced by a new one ( newSubstr ). Note that the replace() method doesn't change the original string.
