Question

I love JQuery-style argument parsing and want to use it in my own function:

   foo( { 'name': 'bob', 'age': 21 });
   function foo (param){
     alert($.isEmptyObject(param)); //shows true

     //now what?  :-)

     //param.prop('name'); does not work
     //$param=$(param); $param.prop('name'); still does not work
     //treating it as an array also does not work
   }

How can I get at the data I passed?

I’m not sure what you are exactly doing, but this works just fine:

foo( { 'name': 'bob', 'age': 21 });

function foo (param){
  alert($.isEmptyObject(param)); //shows false
  alert(param.name);
}
