Answer 1

I find regex expressions commonly used in the replace function very hard to read - plus it's easy to forget to not quote the string you are searching for or to omit the /g to indicate a global replace. For doing something simple like replacing a space with a dash, using an easier to understand "split" followed by a "join" is just as fast.

alert("this is a test".split(" ").join("-"));
