Adding functions to object parameters

Question

I have around 50 objects like:

object[0].one = something;
object[0].two = else;
object[0].options = whatever;

Not sure how to describe it but they each have sub parameters. I was trying to add an additional parameter that I would add manually only to those I wanted too, like so:

object[15].condition = function() { if (something) { then do something; } } ;
//and then later on in a function do
if (this.condition) {
this.condition;
}

but I can't get it to work =( Is something like this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you're calling a function that's a property of an object, you still have to add the parentheses. this.condition() instead of this.condition. — bfuoco

Amazing, bfuoco. I don't get why I don't at least try this stuff when I try at least everything else, for some reason I was just sure that wouldn't work..damnit. What a waste of time and a question, sorry for the trouble. Thanks so much, would have chose this as the best answer if it wasn't a comment, thanks again. — Hate Names

@Musa a little surprised you have 35k rep and are asking me that, I mean no offense at all. My objects are divs and they have a .onmousedown to call a function. using this, works in that function. — Hate Names
