Question

Please have a look on the following code –

var abc_text = "Hello";
var def_text = "world";

function testMe(elem) {
    var xyz = elem+"_text";
    alert(xyz);
}

testMe("abc");
testMe("def");

I am trying to pass prefix to a function and the try to print some pre-defined values by concatenating. But the above example just prints “abc_text” and “def_text” .. instead of “Hello” and “world”. How can I get it working?

Thank you.

EDIT

I am using Jquery.

You can eval xyz, but it’s better to store abc_text and def_text in associative array or in object;

var text = {"abc" : "Hello", "def" : "Word"};
