Javascript string.lastIndexOf does not work with span innerHTML?

No, it has nothing to do with innerHTML . In the call to lastIndexOf the entity is not expanded as it is in the HTML code; instead it is considered as a raw string. Replace it with the actual character and it will work.

If you use innerHTML, you have to use "»" instead of "»".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
