How do you split a string in JavaScript

i have the little jscript which i use for returning a value from a
popupModal. but i want to extend this so that i cant split the string into
different values

in future the string will return a concatenated value, eg BT56FD%ClaraPark,
with % being the dividing marker. but not being compentent in jscript i am
unable to split the returned value

at the mo i have this:-
if (strReturn != null)
document.getElementById('txtPostcode').value=strRe turn;

but i want this:-
if (strReturn != null)
document.getElementById('txtPostcode').value=<all data upto % marker>
document.getElementById('txtAddress').value=<all data after % marker>;

Cheers,
Craig

how do i go about this?

Surely, It is possible just use split method...
sampleStr="ABC%123"
var strArray= sampleStr.split("%") // This function returns an array of
string
It is up to you to traverse this array with a loop
for(var i=0; i>strArray.length;i++)
{
///strArray[i]
}
otherwise just use strArray[0], strArray[1] to access it..
