Possible Duplicate:
string.charAt(x) or string[x]?

It seems that "asdf"[0] produces "a". So why would anyone ever type out "asdf".charAt(0)?

Is that shorter syntax safe to use?

Cross browser compatibility? That’s about all I can think of.

    You can only access strings as arrays in newer browsers. To support older browsers (i.e. IE7) you have to use charAt.
