I'm looking for a way to remove the comma and all that comes after it in a string, for example:
important, not so important
I'd like to remove ",not so important"
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can do it with substring and indexOf:
str = str.substring(0, str.indexOf(','));
but you'd have to be sure that a comma is in there (test it before).
Another possibility is to use split():
str = str.split(',')[0];
this works even without testing beforehand but might perform unnecessary string operations (which is probably negligible on small strings).

+1, tho you forgot
str.replace(/,.*/,''); & str.slice(0,str.indexOf(',')); ;)http://www.jsfiddle.net/a5SWU/
var a = "important, not so important";
a = a.split(",")[0];
