Question

http://jsfiddle.net/MQHkA/2/

$(document).ready(function() {
    var mystring="fusioncharts,om,bdutt";
    var arr = mystring.split(','); //array returned
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      alert(arr[i]);
    }
}

Would the above code work ?

EDIT—

Well the real code block is this :

handle1 = getUrlVars();
if(handle1 == '') {
    $("input#handle1").val('barackobama');
    $("input#handle2").val('aplusk');
    $("input#handle3").val('charliesheen');
    handle1 = 'barackobama,aplusk,charliesheen';
} else {
    alert(handle1);       // this says fusioncharts,om,bdutt
    var queryvals = [];
    queryvals = handle1.split(',');
    alert('length'+queryvals.length);         // *** this says nothing ***
    for(var i = 0; i < queryvals.length; i++) {
        alert(queryvals[i]);                   // *** nothing here too.. ****
    }
}

And the entire block is in a $(document).ready()…

Must be some simple error which I’m unable to spot..

Answer 1

you are missing the closing parentheses other than that it works fine

$(document).ready(function() {
    var mystring="fusioncharts,om,bdutt";
    var arr = mystring.split(','); //array returned
    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
      alert(arr[i]);
    }
}); // this one is missing on yours
