Description Joshua 2008-04-27 02:02:57 PDT 
Replacing all ' ' with ' ' in a text using regexp object, replaces the ' '  with extended ascii charecter 160 which is \u0A0.  It should replace them with ascii 32. 

I think &nbsp is considered as a single character when used with regexp object which should not be the case.
Comment 1 Mark Rowe (bdash) 2008-04-27 17:40:15 PDT 
U+00A0 is the code point of the non-breaking space, which suggests to me that no replacing is going on.  Can you please attach an example of code that does not work as you expect?

Test case for the problem

The additional interesting thing is that putting couple of carriage returns after the </body> tag is included in document.body.innerHTML. May be a separate bug though.
Comment 3 Joshua 2008-05-03 03:26:20 PDT 
As you can see from the test case the '&nbsp;' is replaced with character code 160. It should have been all 32.
