I was thinking Javascript thinks its a string.  So I googled this here:

I think you could change the regex to /[, ]/ and it will work for you


Remove Commas

A user may enter a number separated by commas. You may wish to remove 
the commas before storing the number. A reformatting function to do that 
would look like this:

function removeCommas( strValue ) {
   var objRegExp = /,/g; //search for commas globally
   //replace all matches with empty strings
   return strValue.replace(objRegExp,'');
}
