is it possible to use the indexOf() thingy to change any defined letter/punction into a different letter/punction??

e.g.

<htm>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</html>

i would write a script and using the indexOf(), replace the ! with &_#_3_3_; (i used the underscores so you can actually see what i was writing and not parsed text)

Not directly. You would have to split the string using the results of indexOf() and then concatenate the strings with the new character.

var test = "123!456";
var lt = test.substr(0, test.indexOf("!"));
var rt = test.substr(test.indexOf("!") + 1);
test = lt + "&amp;#33;" + rt;
