Searching Arrays - indexOf

Just to add that "array.indexOf(value)" worked well for me on the client side, but on the server side it gave me "indexOf is not a function" error. So, I just used array.join(",").indexOf(value) and it it worked like a charm.

I think no chance.

IndexOf is a method of Javascript 1.6 – but not of "Adobe-Javascript".

Look at the OMV for the possible methods of an array.

Try something like this instead:

var tA = new Array("one", "two", "three", "four");
var yourIndexOf = "four";
for(var i = 0; i < tA.length; i++) {
    if(tA === yourIndexOf) {
        result = i;
        i = tA.length;
        }
    }
alert (result);

Maybe someone knows a better way.

<Edit>

After seeing the post of Michael L Hale – here is the better way:

var tA = new Array("one", "two", "three", "four");
if (typeof Array.prototype.indexOf != "function") {
    Array.prototype.indexOf = function (el) {
        for(var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) if(el === this) return i;
        return -1;
        }
}
$.writeln (tA.indexOf ("two"))
