Question

Is it possible to use javascript to populate multidimensional arrays.
I want to create three dropdownlists to display “name”, “nationality” and “occasion”. However, I only can complete a two dimensional arrays.

Any good idea?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Literal objects:

var obj = {name : "Bob", nationality : "american", occasion : "often"};

You can access an update JS objects using dot notation or array notation:

obj["name"] = "Your Name Here";

obj.name = "Your Name Here";

You can push objects into and array to create a collection. Multi-dimensional arrays are not necessary for the task you are describing.
