String.lastIndexOf() : lastIndexOf « String « JavaScript Tutorial

Syntax

string.lastIndexOf(string, num)
    string.lastIndexOf(string)

The lastIndexOf() method returns the indexed start position of the string passed, starting from the right and going left.

You can specify an index, defined by num in the syntax definition, to start your search for the string specified.

This method is the same as the String.indexOf() method, but it starts at the end of the string.
