String Splitting

newbby · Aug 26, 2004

Hi,
I have the value from the select box as
<select name="somename">
<option value="123,myname,mynumber">Myself</option>
</select>
How can I spilt the value="123,myname,mynumber" into 3 variables using javascript. All I know is that the "somename" has 3 information separated by comma. Although I donot know the exact position of the comma.
var1 = 123
var2 = myname
var3= mynumber.
Thanks

Here's a very basic example:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function doSplit(theVal) {
    var vals;
    alert(theVal);
    vals = theVal.split(",");
    alert(vals[0]);
    alert(vals[1]);
    alert(vals[2]);
}
-->
</script>

<body onload="doSplit('John Doe,24,New York');">
Here.
</body>
</html>
