split() method not returning an array?

I'm trying to use the split() method to create an array and then pass that to _datadrive() but it's failing with:

Logging exception:
second argument to Function.prototype.apply must be an array

Here's my script...
$someText = "!@#$%^&*()_+QWERTYUIOP{}|ASDFGHJKL:\"ZXCVBNM<>?1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl\;'zxcvbnm,.";

$data2 = $someText.split("");

_dataDrive(createUnit, $data2);

What am I doing wrong?

    To clarify, the problem seems to be split() is returning a string and not an array, which rightly causes _dataDrive to fail as it requires an array.

    From my example above, split is returning the following string (via _alert):
    _alert(["!","@,#","$","%","^","&","*","(",")","_","+","Q","W","E","R","T","Y","U","I","O","P","{","}","|","A","S","D","F","G","H","J","K","L",":","\"","Z","X","C","V","B","N","M","<",">","?","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0","-","=","q","w","e","r","t","y","u","i","o","p","[","]","a","s","d","f","g","h","j","k","l",";","'","z","x","c","v","b","n","m",",","."]);

    So, how can I get split()

    Woops... to finish:

    How can I get split() to return an array? Am I missing something?

    Wait! This is also not working with straight javascript... must be something I'm doing wrong.

    Nevermind :)

    Wait again! :)

    Okay, I was doing this right, I just got turned around on it. This *should* work but does not...
    $someText = "some text";
var $data2 = [];
$data2 = $someText.split("");

_alert($data2[2]); // alerts "0"
_dataDrive(createUnit, $data2); // exception...

    But it fails with the following:

    Logging exception:
    second argument to Function.prototype.apply must be an array

    The $data2 should be a 2 dimensional array. It is a 1 dimensional array right now.

    Ahhh... I should have seen that. Thanks Narayan!
