I dont know why this is the case but my replace does not work. It is somehow unusual considering my syntax is correct.

info.textContent.replace('Title', "replaced"); 

where info is the variable that stores an element. It should actually replace all instances of Title with "replaced". I prefer not using innerText due to patibility issues and innerHTML due to security risks. textContent is supported by firefox and I have no idea what is going on.

I would appreciate some insight. I am learning javascript and tips for best practice are wele.

Below the full code in Jsfiddle:

It works, it's just replace method returns new string you need to assign back:

info.textContent = info.textContent.replace('Title', "replaced");
