Replacing blanks with  

[wyo]

I'd like to display folder names without line breaks so I tried the
following replace

folders[j] = f.replace(/ /g, ' ');

but the script stop without an error. Any idea? Is there a better way?

alert("f: "+f);
alert("f after replace: "+f.replace(/ /g,' ');
alert("j: "+j);
alert("folders[j]: "+folders[j]);

Missing a quote on the second line.

I am confused though. Are you wanting to replace blanks with   or \n?

Or are you wanting to replace \n with  ?

Look again.

The OP wants to replace blanks with  , to prevent line breaks.

OK, I did. I realize I meant to say parenthesis. You are missing an ).

Ah, was not sure since he said two different things.

folders[j] = f.replace(/ /g, ' ');

alert("f after replace: "+f.replace(/ /g,' ');

A ")" is missing but which quote? Still stops working

alert("f after replace: "+f.replace(/ /g," "));

What does "stops working" mean?
what is alerted before it stops?

It doesn't show the alert nor anything else after the script reaches
the "replace". It neither shows an error in the error console of
Mozilla. Ditto IE6 but there isn't an error console.
