the code should work beedee,
I am sure there is something in your code which is wrong...instead of the link can you paste your code that does not work?

HERES THE CODE (ILL EXPLAIN WHATS WRONG BELOW)

-------

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function replaceChars(entry) {
out = "a"; // replace this
add = "z"; // with this
temp = "" + entry; // temporary holder

while (temp.indexOf(out)>-1) {
pos= temp.indexOf(out);
temp = "" + (temp.substring(0, pos) + add +
temp.substring((pos + out.length), temp.length));
}
document.subform.text.value = temp;
}
// End -->
</script>

OK so i want to change it so it will change any "s" or "S" into "sh" or "Sh" its easy i know but i cant work out how to do it. It messes it up if you try and change a "s" into a "sh" because there is another "s". So i though you should change the "s" into (say) "zh" and then back into "sh" and the same for the caps version.....im a bit new to all this :(

here you go beedee, the code below should get you going

:-)

<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function replaceChars(entry) {
out = "s"; // replace this
add = "h"; // with this
temp = "" ;
while (entry.indexOf(out)>-1) {
pos= entry.indexOf(out);
var t1 = entry.substring(0, pos) + out + add;
temp += t1;
entry = entry.substring(pos+1,entry.length);
}
document.subform.text.value = temp;
}
</script>
</head>
<center>
<form name="subform">

<input type=text name=text size=40 value=""><br>
<input type=button name=action value="Done!" onClick="replaceChars(document.subform.text.value);">

You might find this works better for your needs.

var frompos = 0;
while( temp.indexOf( out, frompos ) > -1 )
{
pos= temp.indexOf( out, frompos );
frompos = pos + add.length;
temp = "" + (temp.substring(0, pos) + add +
temp.substring((pos + out.length), temp.length));
}

Slightly optimized and the full code for less confusion:


<html>
<script language=javascript>
function replaceChars(entry) {
out = "s"; // replace this
add = "Sh"; // with this
temp = "" + entry; // temporary holder

var frompos = 0;
while( ( pos = temp.indexOf( out, frompos ) ) > -1 )
{
frompos = pos + add.length;
temp = "" + (temp.substring(0, pos) + add +
temp.substring((pos + out.length), temp.length));
}
document.subform.text.value = temp;
}
// End -->
</script>
