Associative array

**schwa226** · 06-19-2012, 09:06 AM

Hello!

I jsut have question about associative array:

Code:

var dataObject = {date:date, test:temp};

Now I know "date" and "test" are the "IDs" of the values.
Is it possible to make the IDs dynamic?

Like:

Code:

var names = ["test1", "test2"];
var dataObject1 = {date:date, names[0]:temp1};
var dataObject2 = {date:date, names[1]:temp2};

I did not get your point, but I guess what you want to do: a 2-d array..

you can make array(date=>date, names=>array(0=>temp1, 1=>temp2))

That way your array:names[0] and array:names[1] will print different values, but array:date will always be date

Basically you stick an array into an array, just try to visualize it and you'll figure it out

See if this make sense to you...

Code:

<!DOC HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title> Untitled </title>
<script type="text/javascript">

var dataObject = {'date':'date', 'test':'temp'};
alert(dataObject['date']+'\n'+dataObject['test']);

dataObject['time'] = 'Time entry';
dataObject['place'] = 'Place entry';

var activity = 'Some Activity';
var some_action = 'Do something';
dataObject[activity] = some_action;

var str = '';
for (var i in dataObject) {
  str += i+' : '+dataObject[i]+'\n';
}
alert(str);
</script>

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Thx!

For more clearance:
I will use amCharts and I have to define the ID of the dataobject what will be drawn on the chart.

As I have more than one dynamic sorce for the chart I want to also handle the dataobject dynamic.
