Question

I’ve got an array holding various notifications, which includes their individual title and description. I want to access a certain notification by its title, but I’m not seeming to be able to find a match in the array, even though there should be.

NotificationMenu = function()
{
   var NotificationItems = new Array();

   this.Application = function(title, description, functionName)
   {
       this.mTitle = title;
       this.mDescription = description;
       this.mFunction = functionName;
       this.mIsActive = true;
   }

   this.registerNotification = function(title, description, functionName)
   {
       NotificationItems.push(new this.Application(title, description, functionName));
   }

   this.activateNotification = function(title)
   {
       console.log("-NotificationMenu: Activating notification " + title);

       // Check through the list of notifications for the one called to be shown
       for(var i = 0; i < NotificationItems.length; ++i)
       {
           if (NotificationItems[i].mName === title)
           {
               // This is never getting called
               console.log("-NotificationMenu: Successful entry");
           }
       }
   }
}

What is wrong with the way I’m accessing my array so that it cannot match two titles? In particular the line if(NotificationItems[i].mName === title) is not ever returning true.

There’s no mName defined in the Application() constructor. Perhaps you mean to use mTitle:

if (NotificationItems[i].mTitle === title)
