EDIT: Apologies for the partially duplicate question. I seem to have missed it.
I've written a function to scan a table I'd like it to use the header as a property name and add it to an empty object. The problem seems to be with the json object. I have tried all manner of syntax that I have been able to find and haven't been able to add properties to the object.
var jsonData = [{}];
function saveTableToDataSet(tableName,jsonObj) {
debugger;
var oTable = document.getElementById(tableName);
var columnNames = []
var rowLength = oTable.rows.length;
//get column names
var oCells = oTable.rows.item(0).cells;
var cellLength = oCells.length;
for (var i = 0; i < cellLength; i++) {
var cellVal = oCells.item(i).innerHTML;
columnNames[i] = cellVal;
}
//get column data
for (var j = 1; j < rowLength; j++) {
var oCells = oTable.rows.item(j).cells;
var cellLength = oCells.length;
for (var k = 0; k < cellLength; k++) {
var columnName = columnNames[k];
var cellVal = oCells.item(k).innerHTML;
//the problem
jsonObj[j.columnName] = cellVal;
}
}
}
};I'm obviously not referencing the object or its properties correctly but I have tried infinite combinations of syntax. All except the correct one seemingly.
EDIT: It's just seeing my jsonObj parameter as a string. I've changed the last bit to:
//the problem
newObj = [];
newObj[columnName] = cellVal;
jsonData["dataItem"+j] = newObj;
}And it's working. Ideally though I'd like to be able to pass the name of the object in.
