How do I do string replace in JavaScript to convert ‘9.61’ to ‘9:61’?

by

Do it like this:

var value = $("#text").val(); // value = 9.61 use $("#text").text() if you are not on select box...
value = value.replace(".", ":"); // value = 9:61
// can then use it as
$("#anothertext").val(value);

Updated to reflect to current version of jQuery. And also there are a lot of answers here that would best fit to any same situation as this. You, as a developer, need to know which is which.

Replace all occurrences

To replace multiple characters at a time use some thing like this: name.replace(/&/g, "-"). Here I am replacing all & chars with -. g means “global”

Note – you may need to add square brackets to avoid an error – title.replace(/[+]/g, " ")
