Input to Output wont change words in result

I was working on something recently and I was struggling to get the result of A and place into B's box. Now I want to replace everything that says /test/ and replace it with 'banana'. But so far I haven't been able to get this to work. Can somebody explain where I am going wrong?

Javascript

<script>
function sync()
{
  var A = document.getElementById('A');
  var B = document.getElementById('B');

  A = someString.replace(/test/, 'banana');
  B.value = A.value;

}
</script>

i would say to try:

    var pattern = /test/;
    A.value = someString.replace(pattern, 'banana');

Initially A and B both are objects, in the third line of the function, you are actually assigning string value to A, so you will have to use A instead of A.value

  A = someString.replace(/test/, 'banana');
  B.value =A; // because A has string value now

In order to make your code work, do this 

A.value = someString.replace(/test/, 'banana');
