Javascript String.replace() ,ambiguous results

See my code

<html>
<body>

<script type="text/javascript">

var str="Visit Microsoft!";

document.write( str = str.replace("",'ss'));

</script>
</body>
</html>

The output is 

 ssVisit Microsoft!

Why is it happening.?

Why does "abcd".StartsWith("") return true?
