<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
a = 'Fee, fie, foe and fum'.split(/\b/);
alert(a[0]);
// -->
</script>

The script above demonstrates how to split a string on the word boundries. What more do you need?

Be aware, however, that if you are relying upon JavaScript then your page will fall flat on it's face for between one in ten and one in five users. What server side languages do you have access to?
