Question

I am using Date.js to display some dates and a weird thing happens. If I use it in an array formed from within an each statement.

Here is what i mean:

If I pass and use the events_array to the test function array everything works fine, but if I use the eventsArray one, that should look the same, I get:

startDate is undefined
...new Date(startDate.getFullYear(), startDate.getMonth(), startDate.getDate()).getTime()...

function getTest() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "/index",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {

            var eventsArray = new Array();

            jQuery.each(data, function (i, val) {

                eventsArray.push(
                new Array({
                    startDate: new Date(2011, 07, 20, 15, 50),
                    endDate: new Date(2012, 00, 10),
                }));
            });

            var events_array = new Array({
                startDate: new Date(2011, 07, 20, 15, 50),
                endDate: new Date(2012, 00, 10),
            }, {
                startDate: new Date(2011, 07, 20, 15, 50),
                endDate: new Date(2012, 00, 10),
            });

          test(events_array);

        }
    });
}

Any ideas?

Thanks

You probably meant to fill eventArray with objects, not arrays with a single object in each one:

eventsArray.push({ // NOT new Array...
    startDate: new Date(2011, 07, 20, 15, 50),
    endDate: new Date(2012, 00, 10)
}); });
