Hi,

regex is bugging me right now. I simply want to replace the range=100 in a string like

var string = '...commonstringblabla&range=100&stringandsoon...';

with

...commonstringblabla&range=400&stringandsoon...

I successfully matched the "range=100"-part with

alert( string.match(/range=100/) );

But when I try to replace it

string.replace(/range=100/, 'range=400');

nothing happens, the string still has the range=100 in it... I don't get it, please help.
