String to array
I have stored a string value from text box in a var variable.
Now i want to split the string to an array, and want check for each element in that. split method could not work, because there is no delimeter. It is just a word. Example code is,
Code:
var str = document.getElementById("txtName").value;
if str stores "test", i want to store that in an array as 't','e','s','t'
can anybody help me

It's pretty easy to do, every string has a length property with the information of how long the string is in characters. From that you can use the substring method which takes the position of the string you want. The first argument is the position of the first character within the substring offset from zero, and the second argument is the position of the last character within the substring, also offset from zero.
Code:
var $letters = [];
for (var $i = 1; $i <= $somestring.length; $i++)
{
$letters[$i] = $somestring.substring(($i - 1), $i);
}
I have to ask, why do you want to do this?? What's the practical application?
HTH!
Regards,
Rich

It's pretty easy to do. And there is a perhaps an easier way.
/* string.split method will split a string into an array based
on the input of the parameter, for e.g. h,e,l,l,o can be put into
an array via: var arr = str.split(","); */
var str = "hello";
/* this will split each individual character into an array */
var arr = str.split("");
/* to output an array into a string, you can use string.join() */
alert(arr.join()); // outputs "hello"
alert(arr.join("-")); // outputs "h-e-l-l-o"
