In Javascript, is there anyway to change a character at a specific/variable position in a string? Like
and String would become "Bly bla bla". I can get the character at a specific position, but I can't edit it for some reason.
CODE
var String = "Bla bla bla"; String[2] = "y";
and String would become "Bly bla bla". I can get the character at a specific position, but I can't edit it for some reason.

string.charAt(2) = "y"; ?

Already tried it; you can't do that.

you could try using the slice function and another variable to create your own function

javascript strings are immutable, so you cannot do that:

CODE
function changeChar( STRING, ELEMENT, NEW )
{
var String = STRING.slice( 0, ELEMENT );
var String2 = STRING.slice( ELEMENT + 1, STRING.length );
String += NEW;
STRING = String.concat( String2 );
return STRING;
}
var String = "This is a string.";
String = changeChar( String, 16, "!" ); // "This is a string!"
{
var String = STRING.slice( 0, ELEMENT );
var String2 = STRING.slice( ELEMENT + 1, STRING.length );
String += NEW;
STRING = String.concat( String2 );
return STRING;
}
var String = "This is a string.";
String = changeChar( String, 16, "!" ); // "This is a string!"

PHP would be worthless in my situation.
