Javascript is not Java.

Also, for those not familiar with Turing's "index" function, please provide a description of what you wish to accomplish.

I'd guess you're looking for the String.indexOf() method, which returns the index of  the first occurence of either a given character or a given string within a string, or -1 for no occurence. For example:

String s = "Hello, world!";
System.out.println(s.indexOf('o')); //outputs 4

Or if you're talking about JavaScript...
var str="Java is not JavaScript"
document.write(str.indexOf("Java"))
The method works the exact same way as the Java example posted by Corvillus.
