Question

I’m writing a plugin for jQuery where I need to send a little piece of data to the server, but I need to set the var name of the json object I send:

var params = {name:'var_name'}
$.post('page.php', {params.name:'the value'}, function () { /* etc. */ });

how can I do it?

Answer 1

Use the array access syntax:

var params={};
params['varName']='a value';
$.post('...', params, function() {
    ...
});
