Getting a Custom Objects properties by string var [duplicate]
Possible Duplicate:
javascript object, access variable property name?
Trying to get more advanced in my JS...
I have a custom object:
Object myObject = new Object();
myObject.thing = anythingHere;
I would like to be able to retrieve a custom objects property by passing in a string... eg:
var propertyString = 'thing';
alert(myObject.propertyString);
I can't quite figure that out. I've looked at a number of tutorials for custom objects - but nothing shows how to get properties that I don't know the names of... Also - I would like to avoid looping through all properties if possible...
Thanks!!!
Simply use myObject['thing']
.
You could use:
myObject[propertyString] ;
