Is it possible in Javascript to count how many times a cahracter e.g. { occurs in a string?
Thanks!

Yes. You can loop through the entire length of a string and increment a counter each time it finds a match.
var myStr = "foo";var matchChar = "o";var matchCounter = 0;for (i = 0; i < myStr.length; i++) { if (myStr.charAt(i) == matchChar) { matchCounter++; } }alert(matchCounter)
