indexOf

[d.schulz81]

i am getting the error "indexOf is not a function" when calling
URi.indexOf('?')

the code:

function removeFromURL(URi, parameter)

{
var regexp, path, params, qStart = URi.indexOf('?') + 1;
if (qStart == 0 || qStart == URi.length-1) return URi;
regexp = new RegExp("(" + parameter + "=[^&]+(&)?)");
return URi.substring(0,qStart) +
URi.substring(qStart).replace(regexp,'').replace(/&$/,'');
}

Thanks a lot Dennis

How are you calling the function? Tested with IE6 and Firefox 1.0.4 withou problems.

You don't say what URi is or should be, so we can only guess. Have you
actually checked that what is passed to the function is a string, as you
expect it to be, by the looks of it? Do put an alert( typeof URi ) just
before the call to indexOf and see.
