Hello !

I have a simple Javascript code like this



The problem is : If I set var check ="Hon"; I still get the Message Alert "Hon was used" (Honda was used - not Hon)

Can you please help me to solve this sistuation !

Thanks

I've moved this thread, it wasn't perl related.

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.

Hello Newage24,

I had a thought on how you might get your indexOf working.

See attached honda2.html [ killed the form action for testing purposes ]

I added a / character at the beginning and the end of your data variable, to use as a word boundary.

-- case of a word is a problem still as honda will not match, but Honda will.

Hope this helps.
