[javascript] What is causing the error `string.split is not a function`?

Why am I getting...

Uncaught TypeError: string.split is not a function

...when I run...

var string = document.location;_x000D_
var split = string.split('/');

maybe

string = document.location.href;
arrayOfStrings = string.toString().split('/');

assuming you want the current url

run this

// you'll see that it prints Object
console.log(typeof document.location);

you want document.location.toString() or document.location.href

In clausule if, use (). For example:

stringtorray = "xxxx,yyyyy,zzzzz";
if (xxx && (stringtoarray.split(',') + "")) { ...

document.location isn't a string.

You're probably wanting to use document.location.href or document.location.pathname instead.
