RegExp.index (javascript) not working in Mozilla browser

[sathya]

hi,

i am using regexp.index in my javascript, IE supports this value but
mozilla gives undefined value for regexp.index. Is there any equivalent
method we can use for mozilla browsers.

regards,

I think you are looking for the index property of the result of an exec
call e.g. if you have a regular expression object
var pattern = /Kibo/g;
then you can call the exec method and check the index property of the
result returned by that method:
var match = pattern.exec('All for Kibology');
if (match != null) {
alert(match.index);
}
That should work across browsers.
