Dynamically constructed variable (jQuery syntax)

Question

I'm trying to construct global vars inside of jQ .each(). I get 'invalid left-hand side in assignment' error...

'prefix_' + $(this).attr('id') = $(this).method();

window['prefix_' + $(this).attr('id')] = $(this).method();

one question, if I want to then push that var into an array, how do I reference it? myArray.push(window['prefix_' + $(this).attr('id')]); ...?

Yep, that should do it.
