Search and replacing with Javascript 1

[droid99]

Hello,

I am a Perl programmer and have only used JavaScript minimally. I've been researching how to do simple search and replaces in JavaScript but can't find any good reference material. Basically, I want to know what the equivalent of this Perl statement would look like in JavaScript:

$html =~ s/\'/'/g;

I am trying to replace the single quote character with its corresponding html code.

Any help will be appreciated.

var newcode = oldcode.replace(/'/g, "'");
