Instr in javascript?

[Fancy Pants]

Hi everyone,

What is similar to the Instr function that is in ASP, in javascript?

I am trying to search text boxes in a contact form, for certain
characters.

Not in ASP, in VBScript or VBasic

myString.indexOf(searchSctring) // from the beginning
myString.lastIndexOf(searchSctring) // from the end

Return the position (starting from 0) or -1 if not found
