    Scan until character found?

    Hi folks.

    I need some code done for this problem.

    Instead of;

    element would be; DM016A_RF_LIMS

    element=formName.LIMIT_lb.options[i].text
    compare=element.substr(0,5);

    I need;

    element=formName.LIMIT_lb.options[i].text
    compare=element (string up until the first underscore, NOT THE 1st FIVE CHARACTERS as above)

    ?

    Cheers

    Try the indexOf method of String.
