Question

I have a Javascipt object which I use as dictionary

var obj={
           xxx:'1'
           yyy:'2'
        }

However –
xxx and yyy should be a jQuery object.

something like :

var obj =
          { 
             $('#div1'):'1' , 
             $('#div2'):'2'
           }

is it possible ?

also, How can I get the “value” for key $('#div2') ?

p.s.
I the $.data cant help me here since its also a key value
and i need in the key – object Type also.

Object keys can only be strings ( or Symbol), period. See Member Operators – Property Names @ MDN.

Choose a reasonable string representation, and use that. In this case, I’d say the selector string looks like a decent choice:

{ 
    '#div1': '1', 
    '#div2': '2'
}

Use one of the member operators, either dot notation

var obj = { /* stuff */ };
var value = obj.propertyName;
console.log(value);

or bracket notation (more useful for property names not known until runtime):

var value = obj['propertyName'];
