Find and replace all matching strings within textarea

I have this

var textarea=$('#content'); 
textarea.html(textarea.html().replace("PID","111111"));

This works partially, but it only finds the first "PID" within the textarea and replaces it to "1111111". There are about 7 others I need to change as well. What I need is a way to find ALL "PID" and replace it with "111111".

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Use regex to replace all the occurrences in a string. Try this

    textarea.html(textarea.html().replace(/PID/g,"111111"));
