Javascript Split problem

[DannyMc]

Hi, I have written a code to split the string and here is the code.

   var myString = (str);
       var myTemp1 = myString[11].split(",",1);
       var myTemp2 = new Array();
       myTemp2 = myTemp1.split("=",2);    
        var myManager = myTemp2[1];
 

I managed to get the value from myTemp1(tried it) but i have problem with

myTemp2 = myTemp1.split("=",2);    
 

In FireFox Error Console show the error message :
Error: myTemp1.split is not a function.

Why the browser treat it as function? Please advice.

Thank you

myTemp1 is an array, not a string. Use an index into the array and then call split() on that.

Thank you for the solution, it works!

I thought myTemp1 supposed to be string, because i only assigned 1 variable to it. How come it is still array?

split() produces an array from a string, not an array. It's not still an array. myString[11] is a string. If you call split() on that string, the result is an array.
