<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var str = "java made so easy made";
if(str.indexOf("made") != -1){
alert('str contains substring at index = '+ str.indexOf("made"));
}
else{
alert("str doesn't contains substring");
}
if(str.indexOf("made", 10) != -1){
alert('str contains substring at index = '+ str.indexOf("made", 10));
}
else{
alert("str doesn't contains substring");
}
