value as variable

[KryptoS]

Hello,

is it possible to use a value of a variable as a variablename?

if I pass values through setparam it's something like this:
test.setparam({'action': 'index'});
The action in MyGrid is set to 'index'.

MyGrid = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, {
  webroot	: null,
  module	: null,
  controller	: null,
  action	: null,

  setparam	: function(param) {
    for(key in param) {
      // here I want to set key = param[key];
    }
  }

If you want to create a new variable based on the value in another, this should work:

var someVar = 'wibble';
window[someVar] = 'a value';
alert(wibble); // should give 'a value';

But I suspect that isn't what you're trying to do - can you elaborate a bit more?

that's what I'm trying to do...

But it's not working. Maybe 'cause I have to access the variable in my object with "this". If I want to set webroot I have to use this.webroot in the setparam. But using window[this.key] (or something) doesn't work.

test = new Mygrid;
test.setparam({'webroot':'[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost'});[/URL]

MyGrid = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, {
  webroot   : null,
  setparam  : function(param) {
    for(key in param) {
      // the variable with the key has to become the value
      // in your example
      window[key] = param[key];
    }
  }
}

Anyway I solved the problem by using an array. But if you find the solution let me know.

MyGrid = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridPanel, {
  params    : new Array(),
  setparam  : function(param) {
    for(key in param) {
      this.params[key] = param[key];
    }
  }
}
