Here's the quick version of the code as it stands right now:
function foo(attributeName, someJSObj, key, newValue)
{
someJSObj[key].attributeName = newValue;
}
Obviously this doesn't work, since it just creates a new element called attributeName. Is there an easy way to dereference the attributeName into the string that represents some existing attribute on someJSObj?
You need to use the bracket notation for attributeName as well:
function foo(attributeName, someJSObj, key, newValue)
{
someJSObj[key][attributeName] = newValue;
}
Now the value of attributeName is used as identifier instead of the identifier attributeName itself.
If I understood you correctly, you could use ECMAScript
function foo(attributeName, someJSObj, key, newValue)
{
someJSObj[key][attributeName] = newValue;
}
Hope this helps you.
Try someJSObj[key].setAttribute(attributeName, newValue)
