I'm pulling items out of the DOM with JQuery and want to set a property on an object using the id of the DOM element. For example:
obj = {};
jQuery(itemsFromDom).each(function() {
element = jQuery(this);
name = element.attr("id");
value = element.attr("value");
//Here's the problem
obj.name = value;
});
If "itemsFromDom" includes an element with an id of "myId", I want "obj" to have a property named "myId". The above gives me "name".
How, in javascript, do I name a property of an object using a variable?
