 The following will demonstrate the use of the indexOf() function to specify the position of a character
 
phrase, or word in a string.  The position's place, more specifically its number, is returned. 
<script type="text/javascript">
var str="Hello world!";
document.write(str.indexOf("d") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("WORLD") + "<br />");
document.write(str.indexOf("e"));
</script>
 The following will demonstrate the use of the JavaScript special character /" to produce a quotation mark,
 
otherwise the string will be chopped and/or an error will be reported.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write ("<p>")
var txt="We are the so-called /"Hens/" from the east coast.";
document.write(txt);
document.write ("</p>")
</script>
