Hello newage24,

The indexof function is working correctly finding Hon in Honda.

But I suppose that is not what you want.

You would be better using a regular expression to find a whole word only match.

See : http://www.juicystudio.com/...vascript/regexp.html

for explanations and a few examples of how to do this.

See also : http://developer.netscape.com/...e/angus_strings.html

for " Example 1 " which may be close to your desired result.

Hope this helps.
