How to replace all points in a string in JavaScript

I am trying to remove '.'(dot) symbol from my string. and The code that Ive used is

checkedNew = checked.replace('.', ""); 

Bt when I try to alert the value of checkedNew, for example if the checkedNew has original value U.S. Marshal, the output that I get is US. Marshal, it will not remove the second dot in that string. How do remove all dot symbols?

Answer 1

Split the string on all the .'s and then join it again with empty spaces, like this:

checkedNew = checked.split('.').join("");
