However, 
since there are other characters that produce a visible space,
like the tab charater for instance,
you possibly could prefer to use the \s for 'any spacelike character':

myString = myString.replace( /\s/g, '+' ));

==========================

If you are unsure about using Regex,
replace() can also, in a simple way, be used without that:

myString = myString.replace( ' ', '+' ));

but then the /g for 'global' would not be there,
and only the first instance of a space would be replaced.
