This code is completely wrong, but I hope it gives you the idea of what I'm going for:
var qarowquestion+obj.returnIntJson;
obj.returnIntJson's value is just an integer. I want to take the value held there, for example: 2043, and add 2043 to the end of qarowquestion. Thus, I would have:
var qarowquestion2043;
Thanks.
var myObj = {};
myObj['qarowquestion' + obj.returnIntJson] = 'some Val';
Try the above. It will take advantage of dynamic javascript and create a qarowquestion2043 property on the myObj object.
You cannot create variable, As TGH mentioned you can add your values as a named properties inside an object.
var obj = {};
obj['qarowquestion' + obj.returnIntJson] = 'xxx';
By this way you can give proper namespace also for your objects.
var someNameSpace = {};
someNameSpace['someObject'] = 'someVal';
Hope this will be helpful.
I was going through a relevant SO post on using dynamic variable names in javascript and the accepted answer brings up a very good point (emphasis is mine):
Since ECMA-/Javascript is all about Objects and Contexts (which, are also somekind of Object), every variable is stored in a such called Variable- (or in case of a Function, Activation Object).In the Global scope (= NO function context), you implicitly write those variables into the Global object (= window in a browser).
So for example (again taken from the answer):
function foobar() {
this.a = 1;
this.b = 2;
var name = window['a']; // === undefined as it refers to the global context and is undefined
alert(name);
name = this['a']; // === 1
alert(name); // outputs 1
alert(a); //outputs 1
//Since we are talking about context here, you could clearly do
this['qarowquestion'+obj.returnIntJson] = "foo";
alert(qarowquestion2043); //outputs foo
}
So in essence, variables can be accessed as objects in specific contexts which can be really helpful.
TGH's reply was almost what I needed, or it is and I just don't know how to use it.
I changed it so that the part with the number is the value, not the key.
var myObj = {};
myObj['qarowquestion'] = "qarowquestion" + obj.returnIntJson;
Now, I can access it with: myObj.qarowwquestion which gives such result: qarowquestion2043
And for a specific example, in my case:
document.getElementById("qarow" + obj.returnIntJson).innerHTML = myObj.qarowquestion;
