plus sign

[xaviorg]

i have a var that contains plus signs (+) between words, so when i display its contents it looks like this:

Hi+there!

i tried var.replace('+', ' ')

but that didnt work, probably because the plus sign most likely said "Replace (') and (') with (' ')", so how do i get the replace function to recognize the plus sign as what to replace?

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('Hi+there'.replace(/\+/g, ' '));
// -->
</script>
