Find and Replace All Forward Slashes Only

[fox12]

How can I cleanly replace all forward slashes "/" with "/ " in a page with javascript? I tried the following code:
document.body.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML.replace(regstr, "/ ");
But that seems to replace all occurrences of the "/" in the closing tags "</" of the HTML source code.

How to negate "</" but find all "/"?

Thanks.

change your regstr to: "([^<]/)" and your repl string to "$1/&nbsp;"

TheStr=TheStr.replace(/([^<])\//g,"$1")

Tracy,
Your solution half works. Here is the exact effect I want to achieve:
From: value=/export/home/fox12/customers/orders
To: value=/ export/ home/ fox12/ customers/ orders

Here is the code I used your way:
document.body.innerHTML.replace(/([^<]\/)/g,'$1/&nbsp;');
I get the following:
value=// export// home// fox12// customers// orders

oh god, i misread:
document.body.innerHTML.replace(/\//g,'/&nbsp;');


Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
