[Javascript] String.replace and arrays

[junado at junado.com (Julien Nadeau)]

My parsed string does work. It does replace the [s]mouth.gif[/s] by  
mouth.gif. What I am trying to do though if to have [s]mouth.gif[/s]  
replaced by ":D", [s]tongue.gif[/s] replaced by ":P" and so on for  
the 20 or so smileys. So I'm trying to figure out a way to have  
the .replace() return the value from an array or something similar,  
but nothing has worked so far, and I'm trying to stay away from  
having to replace them all by hand.
