Hi friends

I have small doubt that can we pass more than one delimiter to javascrit split function to check with the string.
See below code

XML

var leapyear = new Array();
leapyear =date.split("/");  <-Here I want to pass more than one delimiter 
alert(leapyear[2]);
for (var i = 0; i < leapyear.length; i++)
  document.writeln("<h4>" + leapyear[i] +"</h4>");
  return true;

So that I can check in which format the user entered the date like DD/MM/YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY with these three delimiters " /,-,.".

Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

try below code...
you just take 3rd no string and split using taht string... you don't need to pass multiple parameters...
if your date is "12/01/2012" or "12-01-2012" or "12.01.2012"
below code will return correct answer..

JavaScript

var leapyear = new Array();
leapyear =date.split(date.substr(2,1));  
alert(leapyear[2]);
for (var i = 0; i < leapyear.length; i++)
  document.writeln("<h4>" + leapyear[i] +"</h4>");
  return true;
