Question

This is probably simple, I want to replace the _ (underscore) with nothing (space) and return the text. Take a look at my attempt.. http://jsfiddle.net/NcG78/

here is the code from the fiddle:

function formatNice(text) {
    $(function() {
        var new = text.replace('_', ' ');

        return new;
    });
}​

Answer 1

Remove the non-needed jQuery!

There is no need for it….

Just do:

function formatNice(text) {
   var newt = text.replace('_', ''); //can't use `new` as a variable name.
                                     //it is a "reserved word"
   return newt;
}​
