Replace more than one instance on a character with javascript

Question

I tried:

var test = code.replace("-", "%2D");

but if code = "1-2-3", it only replaces one dash. How do I replace both?

Use //

var test = code.replace(/-/g, "%2D");

Can you explain what `/.../` is? What does the `g` do? – Felix Kling Apr 15 '13 at 14:10
If i remember correctly g means global and /.../ is to initiate a regex expression – Anton Apr 15 '13 at 14:11
