Question

What is the best cross-browser practice to split spaces in a string with Javascript?
I tried theString.split(" ") but i am having issues with IE and Chrome/Safari.

Update

Here’s the js code. IE/Chrome throw error at line: 61

To avoid having empty parts, split with the help of a regex:

var parts = theString.split(/ +/);

Optionally, trim string before splitting.

var parts = theString.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "").split(/ +/);
