Question

I am creating a function that I need to pass in values from an array, one of the values I need to add in is a series of values for the jquery css array

essentially I need to do the following

myArray = new Array();
myArray[0] = ""{'float':'left','-webkit-border-top-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-top-right-radius':'0px','-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius':'20px'}";"
function(){
$("#myDiv").click(function(){
$(this).css(myArray[0]):
});
}

That’s not the exact code as its part of a way bigger function, however the aspect I am falling down on is passing the string in the array to the .css array, I can do this if I were to only include the value in the array, however this means I need to add additional items to my array which I don’t want to do

Any help – pointers would be appreciated

Many thanks!

So for context

okay so my array is
var card2Pos = new Array();
card2Pos[0]="475px";
card2Pos[1]="80px";
card2Pos[2]="1";
card2Pos[3]="500px";
card2Pos[4]="70px";
card2Pos[5]="90px";
card2Pos[6]="510px";
card2Pos[7]="9";
card2Pos[8]="{'float':'left','-webkit-border-top-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-top-right-radius':'0px','-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius':'20px'}";
card2Pos[9]="475px";
card2Pos[10]="80px";
card2Pos[11]="580px";
card2Pos[12]="60px";
card2Pos[13]="8";
card2Pos[14]="right";
card2Pos[15]="450px";
card2Pos[16]="90px";
card2Pos[17]="625px";
card2Pos[18]="60px";
card2Pos[19]="7";
card2Pos[20]="right";
card2Pos[21]="425px";
card2Pos[22]="100px";
card2Pos[23]="670px";
card2Pos[24]="60px";
card2Pos[25]="6";
card2Pos[26]="right";
card2Pos[27]="400px";
card2Pos[28]="110px";
card2Pos[29]="715px";
card2Pos[30]="60px";
card2Pos[31]="5";
card2Pos[32]="right";
card2Pos[33]="375px";
card2Pos[34]="120px";
card2Pos[35]="760px";
card2Pos[36]="60px";
card2Pos[37]="4";
card2Pos[38]="right";
card2Pos[39]="350px";
card2Pos[40]="130px";
card2Pos[41]="805px";
card2Pos[42]="60px";
card2Pos[43]="3";
card2Pos[44]="right";
card2Pos[45]="325px";
card2Pos[46]="140px";
card2Pos[47]="850px";
card2Pos[48]="60px";
card2Pos[49]="2";
card2Pos[50]="right";
being passed into the following function
`
function uber(arg) {

You can do this, but don’t store it as a string – rather directly as an object, like this:

var myArray = [
  {'float':'left','-webkit-border-top-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius':'20px','-webkit-border-top-right-radius':'0px','-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius':'20px'}
  //more objects...
];
$(function(){
  $("#myDiv").click(function(){
    $(this).css(myArray[0]);
  });
});

You can try it out here.
