Javascript - string.replace() not replacing ALL

Question

I'm using this to insert some string data:

$("#edit_order #"+key).val(value.replace('+',' '));

However, the second instance of "+" is not being replaced with this string:

123123123+APT+123

Instead I get the output:

123123123 APT+123

To replace all, you value "to replace" must be defined as a regular expression ... `/\+/g` — rfornal, Dec 24 '14 at 17:26

Use:

value.replace(/\+/g, ' ')

g is a global match flag and will cause your replace to match all instances of +.

Try ...

$("#edit_order #"+key).val(value.replace(/\+/g,' '));

To replace all, your value "to replace" must be defined as a regular expression.
