In my example, I meant to set aPosition=text.indexOf("a"), not "cat" as I mistakenly typed. I've corrected the example. I really needs to stop writing these late at night.

If the variable text was an array... var text=new Array(); text[text.length]="cat"; Then the variable text wouldd be "cat", but text.length would be 1. var text = “cat”;
aPosition = text.indexOf(”cat”);

Just wanted to let you know since this was the top Google hit for my search. JavaScript’s indexOf method returns -1 if no match is found, not 0 like stated.
