Jquery passing variable to array in function

Question

I have a small problem with a javascript variable that I cannot figure out. I am trying to pass a variable to a Jquery function parameter but it doesn't work.

Original code:

$(".bt-fs-dialog").fSelector({
  max: 25,
  excludeIds: [],
  getStoredFriends: [],
  closeOverlayClick: true,

});

Now I want to pass values to the getStoredFriends field. The documentation says it should be added like this: getStoredFriends: [12345678,5484545],

So this is what I do:

var testresponse = "193102451,731800273";

$(".bt-fs-dialog").fSelector({
  max: 25,
  excludeIds: [],
  getStoredFriends: testresponse,
  closeOverlayClick: true,

});

This doesn't work. No values are added to the function. I also tried to pass the values as an array:

var testresponse = new Array();
testresponse[0] = "193102451";
testresponse[1] = "731800273";

$(".bt-fs-dialog").fSelector({
  max: 25,
  excludeIds: [],
  getStoredFriends: testreponse,
  closeOverlayClick: true,

});

This also doesn't work. Can anyone explain how I can pass the values to this function? Thanks in advance!

For reference, OP seems to be using Facebook Friend Selector. — Mattias Buelens

[12345678,5484545] is an array of numbers, so that's probably what expects this function.

Try with

var testresponse = []; // better than new Array()
testresponse.push(193102451); // using push you don't have to specify the index
testresponse.push(731800273);

Or just var testresponse = [193102451, 731800273];. You don't actually need a variable either, you can throw that array literal straight in the object literal.

Try this var testresponse = [193102451,731800273]

This should work

testresponse[0] will give 193102451 and testresponse[1] will give 731800273
