Quick JS question

[lordvader]

Just a quickie;

I coded something the other day and used numbers as property names in a literal object, e.g.

var myObj = {
  o: "prop1",
  1: "prop2",
  etc...
}

It didn't throw any errors or warnings (and I have strict warnings enabled in firebug) so I'm guessing its valid code, but it just felt wrong somehow...

Can anyone confirm whether the obj definition above is correct/valid/ok..?

_ $ A-Z a-z 0-9 are all valid variable names in JavaScript. And if it works, yes, it's valid.

EDIT: You don't ever need to use a string as a property name in JSON

var myobj = {a:function(){alert("");}};
myobj.a();

is valid too. The only time you have to use a string is when using variables with spaces (never do that even though I think it works), or when accessing a property like this

myobj["a"]();
