replace ’ with javascript (not ' )

Question

i'm having a problem replacing ==> ’ (apostrophe) with a space i know it looks so easy but what i mean is editors don't type apostrophe like this ==> ’ but like this ==> ' and i can't find a way to replace it using

var newtext = old.replace(/'/g,"");

here's an example http://jsfiddle.net/zYK9f/4/ in this example you can type ==> ’ in the page but not in the code editor tried a lot but no result hope you can help thanks sorry i mean apostrophe not semicolon

Answer 1

Just copy and paste the character to account for both:

var newtext = old.replace(/'|’/g,"");
