Split function giving Error! Pls Hlp!

[Bernini]

Hi all,

I have an iframe within my html page, and upon pressing a button i would like to do the following:

 var location = parent.mainframe.location;
 var lArray   = location.split("?");
 alert(lArray[1]);

where mainframe is the id of the iframe.

The error is givin on the second line of the code saying:
Object doesn't support this method or property

Any ideas?

Thanks
B

location is an object that doesn't have a split method.
location.href is the string you're after which will have the split method, ut what I really think you're after is this:
parent.mainframe.location.search.substring(1);

Location is an object, not a string. If you cast it to a string you will be able to use the split command. Try this:
coincidentally, location is a keyword in javascript, you should consider using something else

var loc = parent.mainframe.location;
var lArray   = loc.split("?");
alert(lArray[1]);

and of course I post w/o making the change.....

var loc = String(parent.mainframe.location);
var lArray   = loc.split("?");
alert(lArray[1]);
