           Summary: String.replace does not supported $& replacement
                    metacharacter when search term is not a RegExp
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: javascript:alert("asdf".replace("as", "$&$&$&"))
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mrowe at apple.com


"asdf".replace("as", "$&$&$&") gives "$&$&$&df" rather than the expected
"asasasdf".

"asdf".replace(/as/, "$&$&$&") correctly gives "asasasdf".
