replace method Help!!!!!!!!

[deharris2003]

Ok so I have a simple fuction. All I want to do is convert all . to /

doesnt seem to work very well

here goes

function DoThese(date_field) {

if (date_field.indexof(".&quot != -1)
date_field = date_field.replace(".","/"
validate_date(date_field);
doValidateField(date_field);
}

everything seems to work fine without the

if (date_field.indexof(".&quot != -1)
date_field = date_field.replace(".","/"

of course that doent do what I need

Thanks for your help

The replace function is for regular expressions, not strings.

var fullstop = /\./gi;
date_field = date_field.replace(fullstop,"/"
