load Javascript object from file
- by megapool020
Hi there,
I asked a question in this thread Stackoverflow, and it works perfect. So tnx to all the users who gave me a reply. But now I have a other question.
I would like to have the object in a seperate file, so I only need to update the file in stead of the JS file (otherwise it will be very big). I'm using JQUERY.
I now looks like this (with all the info in the JS file). IBANInfo is used to fill a selectbox
var IBANInfo = {
"ccAL":{
countryCode:"AL",
countryName:"Albanië",
IBANlength:"28",
bankFormCode:"0 8n 0 ",
accountNum:"0 16 0 "
},
"ccAD":{
countryCode:"AD",
countryName:"Andorra",
IBANlength:"24",
bankFormCode:"0 4n 4n",
accountNum:"0 12 0 "
},
"ccBE":{
countryCode:"BE",
countryName:"België",
IBANlength:"16",
bankFormCode:"0 3n 0 ",
accountNum:"0 7n 2n"
}
};
//---- then this function is used to build the selectList
function createSelect(){
var selectList = '';
var key;
selectList += "<option value=''>Kies een land</option>\n";
for (key in IBANInfo) {
if (IBANInfo.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
var countryInfo = IBANInfo[key];
selectList += "<option value='"+countryInfo.countryCode+"'>"+countryInfo.countryName+"</option>\n";
}
}
$('#selectBox').html(selectList);
}
I thought I could do it like this, but I get the message undefined in my selectbox.
var IBANInfo = $.get('include/countryCodes.txt');
// also tried var IBANInfo = $.getJSON('include/countryCodes.txt');
//---- then this function is used to build the selectList
function createSelect(){
var selectList = '';
var key;
selectList += "<option value=''>Kies een land</option>\n";
for (key in IBANInfo) {
if (IBANInfo.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
var countryInfo = IBANInfo[key];
selectList += "<option value='"+countryInfo.countryCode+"'>"+countryInfo.countryName+"</option>\n";
}
}
$('#selectBox').html(selectList);
}
/*
the countryCodes.txt file is like this:
{
"ccAL":{
countryCode:"AL",
countryName:"Albanië",
IBANlength:"28",
bankFormCode:"0 8n 0 ",
accountNum:"0 16 0 "
},
"ccAD":{
countryCode:"AD",
countryName:"Andorra",
IBANlength:"24",
bankFormCode:"0 4n 4n",
accountNum:"0 12 0 "
},
"ccBE":{
countryCode:"BE",
countryName:"België",
IBANlength:"16",
bankFormCode:"0 3n 0 ",
accountNum:"0 7n 2n"
}
}
*/
What am I doing wrong. Tnx in advance
