Using replace(/\s+/g,""); removes all spaces.
Using replace(" ",""); removes only the first space.
Why?

Because without the global flag, replace() only replaces the first occurrence.
EDIT: Your first function will also replace tabs and newlines (all whitespace), while the second only replaces literal spaces.

you can do sth like this:
function replaceAll( text, busca, reemplaza ){
while (text.toString().indexOf(busca) != -1)
text = text.toString().replace(busca,reemplaza);
return text;
}
