Explain startsWith() function

[Sid_Takali]

Hi all, 

 I have a requirement to check a string field (compare with another field which is on another form)  and if it starts with certain word then execute a else if() block.  

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var value= g_form.getValue('initiated_from');
    if (value=='')
    {
        g_form.setValue('u_tracking_type',1);
    }

    else if(value.startsWith("CS")) // 
        {
            g_form.setValue('u_tracking_type',2);
        }
}
