Fastest method to replace all instances of a character in a string

I have this

<p id="demo">/,\,:,*,?,",<,>,|</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myFunction()" value="Replace"/>

function myFunction() {
    var str = document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML;
    var n = str.replace(",", ", ");
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = n;
}

What I want is to replace this "/,\,:,*,?,",<,>,|" with this "/, \, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |" but what I get is this "/, \,:,*,?,",<,>,|".

What am I doing wrong ??

You’ll have to use a regex to replace the string globally:

var n = str.replace(/,/g, ', ');
