Try this: lil diff demo http://jsfiddle.net/bLaZu/6/

Please note:

The g flag on the RegExp, it will make the replacement globally within the string.

If you keen: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions

Rest feel free to play around with demo, :)

code

var text = "this ex is not working.";
     text = text.replace(/\s+/g, '+');
     alert(text);​

To replace all spaces with plus + character use the following:

var text = "this ex is not working.";
text = text.replace(/ /g, "+");
alert(text);

And don't forget to use quotes " for initializing strings.
