JavaScript or jQuery equivalent of PHP's strstr() function
Try using this:
function strstr(haystack, needle, bool) {
// Finds first occurrence of a string within another

var pos = 0;
haystack += "";
pos = haystack.indexOf(needle); if (pos == -1) {
return false;
} else {
if (bool) {
return haystack.substr(0, pos);
} else {
return haystack.slice(pos);
}
}
}
