<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need to check if a string starts with the word &quot;page&quot; in the javascript section of a jsp-file. Depending on the number of page the user is browsing, it'll be &quot;page 1&quot;, &quot;page 2&quot; and so on. So I need to compare the static part of the string, which is &quot;page&quot;.<br />
Do I need to use regular expressions for this?<br />
<br />
The method String.startsWith() is not working with javascript, or am I wrong in this point?<br />
Thanks for any help.

JavaScript and startsWith()

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
