<script>
var counter1 = Math.abs(5/160);
var output = counter1; 
alert(output);
var counter = String(output).split('.',1);
alert(counter);
</script>

Yes NextCom is correct. In order to use string functions such as split and replace you have implicitly declare the var as a string.

You can also do it this way.

var output = counter1.toString();
