     All of the replace string code I've found on planetsourcecode DOES NOT WORK! I took one of the broken examples and fixed it. This is no joke. It does work.

Here's another one:
function strreplace(haystack,needle,str) {
while(haystack.indexOf(needle)!=-1) {
haystack = haystack.replace(needle, str);
}
return haystack;
}
