This is a simple replace() question - and I can't get it working to replace a substring in the function below.

function linkOnClick(){

    var anyNameYouLike = 'some sort of text/string right here';

    anyNameYouLike.replace('right','in');

    alert(anyNameYouLike)

}

It should return some sort of text/string in here but doesn't. What am I doing wrong? I'm fairly new with Javascript (if it isn't obvious...)
