javascript function problem IE6/Firefox

[paul2463]

Hello all hopefully you can point me in the right direction, I have this function that turns a string into an array and here is the code:-
[code]
answer = "Hello, how are you doing";
var lettArray = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<answer.length; i++) {
lettArray.push (answer[i]);
}
alert(lettArray);
[/code]

now when i run it in Firefox I get an alert box that says
[code]
,H,e,l,l,o,,, ,h,o,w, ,a,r,e, ,y,o,u, ,d,o,i,n,g,
[/code]
as expected, but if I run it using Internet Explorere 6 I get the following
[code]
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
[/code]

I am pulling my hair out can someone please explain me to me in small words whats happening??

figured it out, dont know why it worked but it did

new code
[code]
var lettArray = new Array();
for (var i=0; i<answer.length; i++) {
lettArray.push (answer.charAt(i)); //notice change here
}
[/code]

Well, the second code snippet should be the only one that works... I'm surprised that FF lets you refer to character positions in a String object like C does.
