Could someone please tell me how to search and replace in javascript. I want to search for:

a "+" in a varaible and replace it with %2B

and search for a "&" and replace it with %26

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me out

thanks

If you need to escape characters in JavaScript simply use the escape function:

str=escape(str); it will apply URL encoding rules which seems what you want.
