o ok thx, couldn’t seem to find any in google :-\

But i’m not too sure if i understand this. I was trying to find out what substring did. And this is the result:

* * *

substring Method  
This method returns the characters in a string between two specified indices as a substring.

Syntax: object.substring(indexA, indexB)

* * *

What does that mean? thanks

Basically, you specify two numbers. The string in between these two numbers is returned. ( remember that indexes start at 0, not 1).

for example:

```auto

var myStringVar = "Hello";
alert(myStringVar.substring(0,3));
//alerts Hel

```
