Javascript Regex Whitespace Replacement

I am trying to get the value of an <select></select> tag as set from the selected <option> value and replace any whitespace in the value with a dash. at the moment I am just then console.log() the value for testing but for some reason instead of selecting whitespace it is selecting and replacing lower case "s". The code I am using is: <select onchange='var cat = this.value; var modi = cat.replace(/\s/g , "-"); console.log(modi);'>

Example: for example assume the this.value is equal to "test value"

Output: te-t value Expected Output: test-value

Try this

function myFunction() {
        var str = "Is this all there is?";
        var patt1 = / /g;
        var result = str.replace(patt1,"-");            
    }
