Why making things simple when you can over-complicate them? ;)
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Nice find. But what will happen when attributeVal is null?
Then run time error would occur. :) Actually null value is not a problem. The problem is, the style of assigning a string variable value to another variable. :)

It's Javascript. You probably end up with fieldName == "undefine"... :rolleyes:

Good catch. But there is nothing in code to keep string left unchanged.:) It was simple assignment. I think, first author had extract multiple values from the string but after some changes, the string was started giving single value. The second author may be don't want to change too much in code (specially substring function).:)

__| | | | \| |__| | | /Well,
substringomits the character at the index specified by the second parameter, so the code you listed will return attributeVal with its final character removed. Maybe that's not what this code should be doing in this case, but what you showed isn't obviously incorrect. It's exactly the code you'd want to use to remove the last character of a string, althoughattributeVal.slice(0,-1)
would work in this case too. OTOH,
var fieldName = attributeVal.substring(0, attributeVal.length);
would be pointless, as it would just return
attributeVal -

That only applies to objects. For instance...
var a = 'howdy';
var b = a;
a = 'partner';
alert(b); // shows howdyvar x = {message: 'howdy'};
var y = x;
x.message = 'partner';
alert(y.message); // shows partnerAnd even if that was the coder's intent, it would still be way more readable to do something like this...
var a = 'blah';
var b = new String(a);
a = 'yo';
alert(b); // shows blahJeremy Falcon
