split not recognising return from regex as string?

[Keldaros]

Hello all,

I'm working on a function that checks the css href in an included html file and if it is incorrect it adjusts it. my problem is in this piece of code

hrefrege = /href=\"[^ ]+\"/i;
originalHref = m[0].match(hrefrege);
originalHrefArray = originalHref.split("/");
alert(originalHrefArray[0]);

Now the m[0] variable is set before this piece of code, containing

<LINK HREF="css/style_oud.css" REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css">

the originalHref matches the href="css/style_oud.css" however the split function doesn't recognise originalHref as a string.

Why doesn't it recognise it and how do i fix my problem?

Thanks in advance,

Keldaros

var m='<LINK HREF="css/style_oud.css" REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css">';
var originalHref = m.match(hrefrege);alert(typeof(originalHref))
var originalHrefArray = originalHref.toString().split(/\//g);
alert(originalHrefArray);

Split works better with all browsers with a regexp and a the option g...
