Hello friends,

I want to use replace function in javascript but the client wants that a particular word should be replaced a specified number of times.

For example...
In a particular page, I want to replace first 5 occurances of the word 'Telecom' to 'Telecommunications'. No matter how many times this word is used in the specified page.

Please help

is this in a text editor or on a live page?

if it's a live page, you do realise that javascript won't actually replace the words in the page, it can only change the display of those words to javascript enabled user agents.

So, Search Engines will still read "Telecom" as that is what will be in the source code. Some of the assistive technology devices are also not enabled with javascript.
