How can I replace a character from a string using jquery?
How to replace charecter "/" with "-" from string using jquery.
I want like below:
06/01/2013 to 06-01-2013
In my case:
I am taking value from input field
<input id="from-date" value="06/01/2013" name="from-date"/>
fdate = $("#from-date").val();
fdate.replace('/','-');
console.log(fdate);
but it returns the same string(06/01/2013)
.

You don't need jQuery, but the standard replace function has the correct regex syntax:
fdate = fdate.replace(/\//g, '-');
Note that it replace
does not change the string you pass, but it returns a new one. Note that you need to pass the flag g
so that all occurrences are replaced.
