Can't get function variable to split.

    The function variable 'data' is formatted like this: 0,70; but I need to separate this at the comma so I have two different variables from the one string. I'm trying to do this using split() but it's not working and stops the rest of the code from working. I don't know any alternatives to split other than substr, and it is not working either.

    
$('#chart').bind('jqplotDataHighlight', function(ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data){
var myArray = data.split(',');                    
$('#tooltip').text('This is your score: ' + myArray[0]);
});

    It seems fine, so I think the problem is somewhere else. This example might help you spot it:
    
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('#chart').bind('jqplotDataHighlight', function(ev, seriesIndex, pointIndex, data) {
			var myArray = data.split(',');  
			$('#tooltip').text('This is your score: ' + myArray[0]);
		});
		$('button').click(function () {
			$('#chart').trigger('jqplotDataHighlight', [ 0, 0, '0,70;' ]);
		});
	});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='chart'>Chart</div>
<p id='tooltip'>Tooltip</p>
<button>Trigger Event</button>
</body>
</html>
