javascript string.replace question

I know you can do something like this: 

var str = "Microsoft has the largest capital reserves of any tech company. Microsoft is located in California.";
str = str.replace(/microsoft/gi, "Apple");

and you'd get the following: Apple has the largest capital reserves of any tech company. Apple is located in California.

How can I use the global case insensitive to change a string like 07/08/2011 to 07082011?

I tried variations of str.replace(///gi, "") with no luck.

Try this:

var input = "07/08/2011";
var output = input.replace(/\//g,""); //output 07082011

str = str.replace(/\//g,'')

this will remove all forward slashes
