Array as Object property

[SarahKate31]

Hi everyone --
I need to use the Object constructor to create a new object with properties. I also have a multidimensional array that I would like to store as a property of the object.

sibsArr = new Array()
sibsArr[0] = new Array()
sibsArr[0][0] = "John"
sibsArr[0][1] = 26
sibsArr[1] = new Array()
sibsArr[1][0] = "Anne"
sibsArr[1][1] = 24
sibsArr[2] = new Array()
sibsArr[2][0] = "Allison"
sibsArr[2][1] = 22

var kate = new Object()
kate.age = 25
kate.siblings = sibsArr

I am getting an error when I try to reference the array like this:

kate.siblings[2]

How can I reference the elements in the array? I know I have the wrong syntax, or I am referencing it the wrong way...Can anyone help me out with this? I would appreciate it much...Let me know if I have not given enough info...

Thanks -- Kate

How is kate.siblings defined? In order to hold an array, it should be a Variant type. You might also have to SET kate.siblings instead of just using equal.

your current syntax works just fine in IE and FF:

sibsArr = new Array()
sibsArr[0] = new Array()
sibsArr[0][0] = "John"
sibsArr[0][1] = 26

var kate = new Object()
kate.age = 25
kate.siblings = sibsArr

alert(kate.siblings[0])

i suspect this is not exactly how you are using it, and that you have some error elsewhere.

try { succeed(); } catch(E) { tryAgain(); } finally { rtfm(); }

yes you are correct - this syntax does work - i had a problem elsewhere that i have now fixed...i haven't used the object constructor very often, so i assumed i had the syntax wrong...sorry!
Thank you both for your quick replies

Thanks - Kate
