Force Js Array Keys As String() Not Int()

Jul 8, 2011

Given a JavaScript "array" (ok, so really they are "objects" but it's being treated as an array...) in the format

HTML Code:
var patient_code = "0"
var header_id = "1";
var question_id = "1000";
fake_data_array["patients"][patient_code][header_id][question_id]
HTML Code:
var fake_data_array = new Array();
fake_data_array["heading_information"] = new Array();
[Code]...

What's happening is, '1000', '1001', '1003', '1004' are being cast as integers, not strings, and it's "filling in" the first ~999 keys as 'undefined' so the length is returning something like 1005, not 7. I'm manually writing the arrays now, and will eventually be building this massive js array from a collection of existing PHP arrays. Is there a way to forcibly cast the values as strings?

Sorting Array Changes Keys?

Jan 26, 2010

Firstly, apologies for my terrible JavaScript knowledge! I'm getting there! I have an array that is made up of the results of a few SQL queries. The queries return the record id and an integer. I need to sort the results of the queries by the integer. I am trying to store them in an array, using the record is as the key, then sorting the array. However, when I try to get the data out of the array, it has changed the key!

E.g.
Original results
[10605] = 141
[10744] = 116
[18835] = 166
[15304] = 166

[Code]...

Defining Array Elements With Keys

Mar 13, 2010

I would like to have an array and define which element goes to what key. Something like this:
Code:
var test = [][];
test[0][0] = "foo";
test[0][1] = "bar";

However I am wondering if its possible to write it in one statement? Something like this:
Code:
var test[0] = [
[0] => "foo",
[1] => "bar"
];
The code up doesn't work of course.

PHP - Create A Multi-dimensional Array With Strings For Keys

This works if the string is a variable as well, like

$key = "MyKey";
$arr[$key] = array("item 1","item 2");

Is there another way to allow the function keys without enabling all matching letters as well?

Process String Formatted As Array Into Array?

Mar 18, 2011

I get strings in this format:

([{"result":"-1","message":"Error","target":""},{"result":"-2","message":"Access Denied","target":""}])

this string will evaluate to a 2D array if I do this:var array = eval(string);But eval is not very safe.Is there a way to achieve the same effect (turn that string into 2d array) without using eval function?And I have no control over what string I am given, so will have to process this kind of a string =Right now I am thinking of writing a custom function which will split the string and then split again etc, but is there already something that can do this job?

Using A String As A Pointer To An Array?

Apr 26, 2011

So i've written up the code to do a lightbox esque overlay image gallery. everything is working smooth and fine. The only concern is that I have the following:

lets say that I have a page that has multiple galleries. Obviously I would have to make each literal array with the gallery data different names, ex:

var _gallery1 = {
'images': [
{ 'id' : 1, 'src' : "" }
]

[Code]....

obviously "galVariable" would be undefined... as i'm trying to get "_gallery2.images" but trying to use "galVariable" to point to "_gallery2"

I'm familiar with solving a problem like this in PHP, not so much javascript. is there a JS function that can be used to ensure that it's using whatever "galVariable" equals to, and then that array's content is? Or is there a different way to go on about this.

Updating String/array Items

Oct 16, 2007

I'm not entirely familiar with the norms and standard libraries of
JavaScript so if the answer to this is yesterday's news, please ignore.

I'm trying to write a simple text formatting function to make headings
proper case -- i.e. first letter of words capitalized.

I first tried this...

function inProperCase(s)
{
var result, i, k;
i = 0; result = s.toLowerCase();
while ((k = result.indexOf(' ', i)) -1) {
if (k - i 0) {
result[i] = result[i].toUpperCase();
}
i = k + 1;
}
if (result.length - i 1) {
result[i] = result[i].toUpperCase();
}
return result;
}

...but it didn't work. To my amazement, you cannot set a character in a
string by accessing that character with an index, like so:

s[i] = ch;

Must be because JavaScript strings are "Immutable" or "EtchedInStone" or
something. (Just kidding, no flames, please. I'm sure it is more
efficient.)

The only thing I could come up with was this (with some details, like the
"compound" while predicate, modified into a more readable form after being
called a "C-bigot" by a friend :)) which seems pretty heavy-handed with all
the string slicing and concatting:

function inProperCase(s)
{
var result = s.toLowerCase(),
i = 0, k = result.indexOf(' ', i);
while (k -1) {
if (k - i 0) {
result = result.substring(0, i) +
result[i].toUpperCase() +
result.substring(i+1, result.length);
}
i = k + 1;
k = result.indexOf(' ', i);
}
if (result.length - i 1) {
result = result.substring(0, i) +
result[i].toUpperCase() +
result.substring(i+1, result.length);
}
return result;
}

You call this as...

inProperCase(" madam i'm adam ");

...and you get...

" Madam I'm Adam "

Any suggestions for making this a bit more elegant?

BTW You may point me to a "library" with a super-efficient implementation
of this function, but that is not the point. My issue is, how do we update
single characters in a string (or single items in an array) in JavaScript?
Is it something like...

s.wouldYouCareToUpdateThisChar(i, ch); // :D (just kidding, calm
down...)

-or-

s.setCharAt(i, ch); ...
