var textTitle = "this is a test"

var result = textTitle.replace(' ', '%20');

But the replace functions stop at the first instance of the " " and I get the

Result: "this%20is a test"

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong I'm sure it's a simple fix.

You need a /g on there, like this:

var textTitle = this is a test;

var result = textTitle.replace(/ /g, '%20');



console.log(result);

You can play with it here, the default .replace() behavior is to replace only the first match, the /g modifier (global) tells it to replace all occurrences.
