How to create a dynamic object in a loop?

Question

Basically I want to create one large object of many object in JavaScript. Something like:

var objects = {} for (x) objects.x = {name: etc} 

Any ideas?

Answer 1

var objects = {};  for (var x = 0; x < 100; x++) {   objects[x] = {name: etc}; } 

Answer 2

An actual implementation

Populate a container object with 100 other objects.

<script> var container = { }; // main object  // add 100 sub-object values for(i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {  container['prop'+i ]  /*property name or key of choice*/          = { 'a':'something',               'b':'somethingelse',               'c': 2 * i            };  } 

TEST THE Results - iterate and display objects...

for(var p in container) {  var innerObj = container[p];  document.write('<div>container.' + p + ':' + innerObj + '</div>');  // write out properties of inner object  document.write('<div> .a: ' + innerObj['a'] + '</div>');  document.write('<div> .b: ' + innerObj['b'] + '</div>');  document.write('<div> .c: ' + innerObj['c'] + '</div>'); } </script> 

Output is like

container.prop0:[object Object] .a: something .b: somethingelse .c: 0 container.prop1:[object Object] .a: something .b: somethingelse .c: 2 container.prop2:[object Object] .a: something .b: somethingelse .c: 4 

etc...
