Retrieve Value From Multi-dim Associative Array Using Only One String As The Key?

Jul 20, 2011

Lets assume the following object

Code:
var x = {
y: {
z: 10
}
} ;

Next, I need to retrieve the value '10', but the only thing I have is one string as a key For example (this doesn't work):

Code:
var str = '[y][z]' ; // or 'y.z'??
alert(x[str]) ; // should alert 10

Can this be done using a single string as input for x ?

UPDATE: a solution which comes close to what I was looking for is

Code:
var str = "x['y']['z']" ;
alert(eval(str));

Create A Multi-dimensional Associative Array?

May 21, 2010

I'm trying to create a multi-dimensional associative array that has some of its data created dynamically. The code I've currently got is as follows (using JQuery to retrieve form element values):

Code JavaScript:
 
var data = {
label: $('#label').val(),
child_float: function() {

[code]....

.. if its values were not being created dynamically. However as you can tell that isn't what is being generated at the moment, as there's no opening/closing brace before/after the child_float's member variables. Any ideas what changes I need to make in order make the child_float behave as intended?

Prototype To Sort An Associative Array On The Array Key (in Ascending Order)

Sep 1, 2010

I am building a customised javascript prototype to sort an associative array on the array key (in ascending order). Basically, I am separating the array keys into a separate array and then using .sort() to sort the keys and then reassembling the original associative array elements according to the sorted keys array.

The sorting works ok except that when I run the test code below, the outputed sorted associative array has an extra element at the end of the array whose key is the name of the prototype function and the value for that element is the function code itself. Obviously I am misunderstanding something about associative arrays or how javascript prototypes work.

[associative Array] Would You Do That?

New to javascript here. I'm trying to do something that would be very easy to do in php, but is quite hard in javascrpit due to the lack of support of associative array.

push() to add clickedElementId as a value associated to a numeric key, but then how would you remove a specific element from the array? How would you approach such a typical algo in javascript? Regards,

Object As Key For Associative Array

Jul 23, 2005

Is it possible to have an Object as the key for an Associative array
like in the following example....


function Obj(var1, var2)
{
this.var1 = var1;
this.var1 = var1;


}
function test() {
var sectionArray = new Array();
var obj = new Obj("c","k");
var obj2 = new Obj("3","n");
var obj3 = new Obj("v","qk");

sectionArray[obj] = "king";
sectionArray[obj2] = "queen";
sectionArray[obj3] = "joker";
alert(sectionArray[obj]);
}

This does not give any error but the alert says "joker" instead of
"king". Is there anything wrong with my code or is an Object something
that just can not be used as a key.

If it is the latter can someone please suggest another way for me to do
it? Can I use a concatenated String instead of an object? My only
problem then is how would I extract the values from the String, does
JavaScript have a tokenizer method like Java?

JQuery :: MySQL PHP Associative Array To Via JSON?

Jun 5, 2009

Your table-driven application has a MySQL table on the server side and you want a Javascript associative array on the client side to do rapid look-ups.For example: My application uses the value selected from the form’s drop-down menu to choose which other form fields to hide or show. This choice of a 'Long Form' is table-driven from product data in a MySQL table.

Convert the MySQL table to an associative array in JavaScript.I am using the jQuery library to manage the presentation and form validation on the client side and PHP and MySQL on the server side.Since a JavaScript Object is an associative array and the MySQL table is being used as a look-up table (associative array) I use the PHP function json_encode to create a JSON string - JSON is JavaScript Object Notation - on the server which is then evaluated as a JavaScript Object on the client. The two parts (server and client) of the code are listed below.All very straightforward then. So why the blog?This is what I do (here's the PHP code):

do { $key = $row['ProductKind'];
$value = ($row['LongForm'] ? True : False);
$arr[$key] = $value;

[code]...

As a newcomer to jQuery this is a good opportunity to show my appreciation to John Resig and the people that have contributed to the jQuery library ... not forgetting those who have integrated all the MySQL and JSON stuff into PHP. It's all very neat ... when you get to understand it!You could just eval(data) to turn the JSON string into a JavaScript Object (a.k.a. associative array), but JSON.parse protects your code against evaluating malicious scripts that could be embedded in the JSON string. This function is found in the json2.js downloadable until included in native browser JavaScript engines.The PHP Booleans translate automatically into JavaScript Boolean types.

[Skip this: My application has a MySQL table of product categories that tell me whether I need to present the administrator with a long form or a short form in the HTML. So, as products are added over time, I want to the administrator to choose whether a new product category can take the short form plus some default values or will require the explicit input of all product values in the long form. As the administrator assigns a category to a new product - and changes his mind half a dozen times - I don’t want to keep on going to the server to do the look-up but want to have the table in Javascript to keep the form presentation responsive. Also, the MySQL tables are on a third party’s server remote from the web server.]

Create An Associative Array From Within The Loop That Sets Up My Html Table?

Jan 27, 2009

I'm trying to create an associative array in javascript from within the loop that sets up my html table. I can't get my head around assigning the associative key-value pair (probably not the best way of putting it). I've written the below in php. What's the equivalent in javascript? The => is the part that's baffling me.

PHP Code:

$test_array[] = array ([INDENT]'seller_id'=>$seller_details[$column]['seller_id'],
'products_id' => $item_details[$idval]['products_id'],
'shipping_price' =>$item_details[$idval]['shipping_price'])[/INDENT]

Re-organizing Multi-dimensional Array?

Oct 30, 2009

Short version: I'm having trouble with "moving subarrays" in a multidimensional associative array.

Long version: (Yes, I know that there's technically no such thing as a js associative array and that I'm actually using a generic object.) This is one of those annoying questions for which significant code can't be shown.

I'm fetching a JSON object from PHP and parsing it as multi-dimensional associative array that comes out with this "structure": obj[regions][variables][years] = value; My presentation logic works fine for that. Year data is presented for each variable, and variables are grouped by region. For reference, if needed, the display is tabular and similar to this:

Simulating A Multi Array - More Than One Textarea

Aug 31, 2010

I have a section of javascript that declares a global variable for a few functions, like this incomplete code

Code:

The above, in its full version, changes the text in a textarea. In my php code, if I include the above code above the textarea, it all works as expected.

The problem is that I may have more than one textarea - the number cannot be known beforehand. If I include the above before each textarea, the pointer gets confused as to which string belongs to which textarea since the global variables get redefined many times. In php, this would be a simple problem to solve with a mutildimensional array but, from what I understand, javascript doesn't have such arrays.

Someone can provide a solution that will allow me to use the same block of code over and over in the same file.

Passing Multi Value Variable To Array?

Sep 16, 2010

I have a database which writes to a webpage. The html has one field showing called client_userid with an id of client (see below)

<tr><td>
<span id="client"><WebObject name=client_userid></WebObject></span>
</td></tr>

The value returned in the table is a 7 digit number eg: 1234567 This web view may have one, a few or a thousand records showing depending on the search criteria. For the life of me I cannot find a script that will pass all returned field values to an array that will allow me to remove duplicates and add a hotlink to the individual number and showing the result in a new view of the original table.

Passing A Multi-dimensional Javascript Array Through A Form

Any suggestions?
