how to split a string in javascript?

example str = "this is part 1 one wall this is part 2 "
now I want to split the str in 2 parts separated by word wall

so I want output to be:

st1 ="this is part 1 "
st2 ="this is part 2 "
+5  A: 
var str1 = "When I say wall I want to split";
var chunks = str1.split("wall");

alert(chunks[0]); /* When I say */
alert(chunks[1]); /* I want to split */

Just for the sake of completeness, I'll add a regular expressions answer:

var splits = str.split(/wall /);
alert("'"+splits[0]+"'"); //'this is part 1 '
alert("'"+splits[1]+"'"); //'this is part 2 '
