Javascript for replacing an abreviation by his equivalent

Question

I met some trouble with a javascript.

In fact I have in my database many records that are abreviations and ther equivalent,

for example, replace tel => telephon

Answer 1

This should work:

$('#tags').keyup(function(e){
    var code = e.which ? e.which : e.keyCode;
    var input = this.value;
    if (input.indexOf('tel') != -1) {
       this.value = this.value.replace(/\btel\b/gi,'telephone');

    }

});

Here is a fiddle
