hello,
i'm using charCodeAt to get the ascii value at a given location in a
string but now i want to set the value of a location in a string to a
specific ascii value. is there a way to do this?
the only thing i can think of is to use the 'replace' method with a
regular expression that matches the nth location in the string and
replaces it with the new ascii value but that seems crude.
i appreciate any suggestions,
thanks!

Will this help? It rebuilds the string.
alert( replaceChar("ab cdefghijklmnopq rstuvwxyz","m", "M") );
function replaceChar(phr ase,char1,char2 ) {
// Replace first instance of "char1" with "char2" in "phrase".
var i = phrase.indexOf( char1);
var s = "";
if (i >= 0) {
if (i > 0) s = phrase.substrin g(0,i);
s += char2;
s += phrase.substr(i +1);
return (s);
}
}

I beg your pardon...
String.prototyp e.replaceCharAt = function(pos, charCode)
{
return this.replace(
new RegExp('(.{' + pos + '}).'),
'$1' + String.fromChar Code(charCode)
);
}
x = 'I stepped in that trap.';
x = x.replaceCharAt (18, 99);
alert(x);
nice. thank you!

Hi,
I am trying to do a very simple "encryption" of a text string in java
script. For instance, if the user enters : steve, I want to just
convert each character to its ASCII value and add 5 to each character,
then convert back to a string giving: "xyj{j" for this example.
is there a simple way to do this? any suggestions on functions I can
use would be greatful!

Hi,
I try to make up a javascript string which contains numeric numbers in
any positions. For example, I want to make a string: secretcode, where
secretcode.charAt(0)==(-21), secretcode.charAt(5)==(-14). Is there any
way to accomplish this task?
Thanks in advance,

I have a string. I'd like to take this string
and make each char change until it gets to another

Example:

I'd like each char to loop through the chars on a timer
