Hi, can someone please show me how to most elegently do this?.....
I have a textbox, and I want to search the contents of it and replace
all instances of a certain word, and replace that word with something
else. For the purposes of this it could be replacing "green" with
"blue". Can someone please show me how to properly do this? :)
Sincerest regards, Alxasa.

Very very nice and elegant, Jeff. :) Could you show me how to tweak
your code to account for case-sensitivity for changes?
I am sorry I moved too fast... I now do understand / /gi tags around
apple. If apples was a var reference to a parent frame, like
'parent.somestring' instead of just putting a word in there, how would
that work? :) Thank you so much for your assistance. Have a great
day! :)
re = /(parent.somestring)/gi ?

I am sorry. Here was the code I am talking about :
<script type="text/javascript">
function ReplaceApples()
{
//--- setup regex string
re = /apples/gi; <--- want to put a top.value="apples" in
between / /gi
//---- get element
id = document.getElementById("sunny");

//--- do regex replace
newstr=str.replace(re, "oranges");
//--- save new value back to element
id.value = newstr;
}

That was premature. The constructor is RegExp().

If you do not consider it nonsense, then you have to deal with this
question:
What does this accomplish more that cannot be done better with calling the
constructor function?

If you do not consider it nonsense, then you have to deal with this

constructor function?
It handles control characters, "\n", "\t" etc..., a little better.
