           Summary: String#replace does not update global regexp lastIndex
                    per ES3&5
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: john.david.dalton at gmail.com


According to spec String#replace should perform the following.

var s = '0x2x4x6x8';
var p = /x/g;
s.replace(p, function() { alert(p.lastIndex)  });
// alert 2, then 4, then 6, then 8

alert(p.lastIndex); // alert 0

Opera currently does this correctly. There is a bug reported to Mozilla as
well.
