Question

I will create an object which has first name attribute. I have a textbox. Text in textbox will be object’s first name value.

alert($("#Name").val() );
personObj = { firstname: ($("#Name").val())}

First line gives me the name of person. But when i want to give this name to my object, it fails.

Thank you for your help!

This works for me…

personObj = { firstname: $("#Name").val()}; //External parenthesis are not required... and don't forget the trailing semicolon
alert (personObj.firstname);
