Javascript string to array(if string is without any space)

Question

I have a string for e.g:

        var str = 'abcdef';

i want to get it in an array format e.g:

        var a;
        a[0]=a;
        a[1]=b;  and so on..

i am aware of split method but in this case of string without any space how can i split as individual character??

Use: str.split(''). That will create an array with characters of str as elements.

You can access it like this ,

var str='abcdef'; 
alert(str[0]);

or

var str='abcdef'; 
alert(str.charAt(0));

Right, but use `str.charAt(0)` – Ian Jan 24 '13 at 06:20
@lan: Can you explain why. without saying just use this. – Chamika Sandamal Jan 24 '13 at 06:23
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5943726/string-charatx-or-stringx for reasons why `charAt` should be used. – Chris Jan 24 '13 at 06:23

var s = "abcdef";
var a;
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
    a.push(s.charAt(i));
}

or

 var s = "abcdef";
 var a;
 var a= s.split('');

var str="abcdef";
var a=new Array;
for (var x=0; x<str.length; x++) {
    a[x] = str.charAt(x);
}
console.log(a);
