split() is not defined?

[ahmedtheking]

How comes when I use split(), I get an error saying it's not defined?

How are you using it?

var myString = "Hello World";
var myArr = myString.split(" ");
// myArr[0] == "Hello"
// myArr[1] == "World"

It's because it's not defined for the variable you are using it with. Check to make sure that it is a string you are working with.

It's def a string! I'm using it like this

function someFunc (element) {
splitelement = element.split("-");

....

}

Ah sorry, my mistake! It's meant to be element.id, as element is an array! My fault people!
