string.indexOf("'")

Are you using it inside an HTML event handler (onclick etc.)?
In that case, you need something like:

... onclick=" ... string.indexOf('\'') ... "

/L

Sorry, I meant string.indexOf ('"')

Inside a "-delimited intrinsic event, the " in '"' would still be used
to match the beginning ". The HTML parser doesn't know that the " is
inside single quotes in the Javascript, because it only looks at the
HTML.
