How to create a string from one char with JavaScript?

This is C#.

String text = new String('*',20);

Is there an easy way to do this with JavaScript?

If that's a JavaScript question, please state the goal, not a code you want ported from another language. — Denys Séguret, May 09 '14 at 15:02

var text = new Array(20).join('*');

// returns ********************
