Just because I like the pattern:

var fullname = "John, Cooper";

(function(first, last) {
    console.log(first, last);
}).apply(null, fullname.split(/,\s*/));

explanation:

The above code creates a function expression (that is done by wrapping the function into the parenthesis). After that it self-invokes that created function immediately by calling .apply() from the Function object (remember, most things in ECMAscript are objects, so are functions). Any function inherits from Function and the .apply() method takes two arguments. 1. a context (=object) for the this parameter in the invoked method and 2. an argumentslist as Array. Since .split() returns an Array we use that to directly pass the result from .split() as arguments.

Var FullName = 'John, Cooper';
name   =  FullName.split(',');
name[0]---//Jhon;
name[1]----//cooper
console.log(FullName.split(','));

First, strings in JavaScript have a " before and after it. Second, it is var and not Var.

Say you have

var FullName = "John, Cooper";

Then you can code like this to split:

var FirstName = FullName.split(", ")[1];
var LastName  = FullName.split(", ")[0];
