console.log writes the value to the JavaScript Console.
id.split(" ")
splits the string id
at the space into an array.
var id = "This is a string";
var idParts = id.split(" ");
for(var i = 0; i < idParts.length; i++) {
console.log(idParts[i]);
}
The above will output “This”, “is”, “a”, and “string” to the javascript console.
