[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 7919] New: JavaScript String.prototype.replace does not respect "$&" replacements

http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7919

           Summary: JavaScript String.prototype.replace does not respect
                    "$&" replacements
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: Udo.Borkowski at gmx.de


The JavaScript implementation for String.prototype.replace does not respect the
"$&" replacement. This sequence should be replaced with the matched text.

E.g.: 

    "and more ...".replace(/\./g, "$&") 

wrongly evaluates to 

    "and more $&$&$&"

Correct value would be:

    "and more ..."

(For details see "15.5.4.11 String.prototype.replace (searchValue,
replaceValue)" in "ECMA-262: ECMAScript specification", page 102
(http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm))

Please also verify if the other "$" replacements documented there are
supported.


(I used Safari 2.0.3)
