Answer 1

Your problem is that replace does not replace the characters in your original string but returns a new string with the replacement.

myString = myString.replace(avoid,'');

Answer 2

replace does not modify the string, it returns a modified string. So do:

 var avoided = myString.replace(avoid,'');

Answer 3

Try this

 var myString = "qwerty";
 alert(myString);
 var avoid = "t";
 var abc=myString.replace(avoid, '');
 alert(abc);
