The length() Method Use the length property to find out how many character there is in the string. The indexOf() Method Test if a string contains a specified character. Returns an integer if it does and -1 if it do not. Use this method in a form validation. The match() Method Works similar to the indexOf method, only this method returns the characters you specified, "null" if the string do not contain the specified characters. The substr() Method The substr method returns specified parts of the string. If you specify (14,7) the return will be the 14th character and the next 7. Note that the first character is 0, the second is 1 etc. The toLowerCase() and toUpperCase() Methods How to return a string in lower or upper case. The most common methods Methods Explanation NN IE ECMA length Returns the length of the string 2.0 3.0 1.0 indexOf() Returns the index of the first time the specified character occurs, or -1 if it never occurs, so with that index you can determine if the string contains the specified character. 2.0 3.0 lastIndexOf() Same as indexOf, only it starts from the right and moves left. 2.0 4.0 match() Behaves similar to indexOf and lastIndexOf, but the match method returns the specified characters, or "null", instead of a numeric value. 4.0 4.0 substr() Returns the characters you specified: (14,7) returns 7 characters, from the 14th character. 4.0 4.0 substring() Returns the characters you specified: (14,7) returns all characters between the 7th and the 14th. 2.0 3.0 1.0 toLowerCase() Returns the string in lower case 2.0 3.0 1.0 toUpperCase() Returns the string in upper case 2.0 3.0 1.0 The Array object Some times you want to assign more than one value to a single variable. Then you can create a variable that can contain a series of values. This is called an array variable. The declaration of an array variable: names = new Array(3) The expecting number of elements goes inside the parentheses, in this case 3. You assign data to each of the elements of the array like this: names[0] = "Tove" names[1] = "Jani" names[2] = "Ståle" Similarly, the data can be retrieved from any element using an index into the particular array element you want.
