A bit shorter but slower:

function(a,b,c,d){for(;d!=(a=a.split(b).join(c));d=a);return a}

function (

b, // a string that is to be replaced by newSubStr
c // the string that replaces the substring received from parameter #1

while (~a.indexOf(b)) // iterate until it doesn't contain newSubstr
a = a.split(b).join(c); // assign and replace all matching substr's
return a // return the replaced string
}

Save some space by comparing with last result instead of indexOf:

function(a,b,c,d){for(;d!=(a=a.split(b).join(c));d=a);return a}
