Question

This is a simple replace() question – and I can’t get it working to replace a substring in the function below.

function linkOnClick(){
    var anyNameYouLike = 'some sort of text/string right here';
    anyNameYouLike.replace('right','in');
    alert(anyNameYouLike)
}

It should return “some sort of text/string in here” but doesn’t. What am I doing wrong? I’m fairly new with Javascript (if it isn’t obvious…)

Answer 1

anyNameYouLike = anyNameYouLike.replace('right','in');
