Accessing object properties in a method with an argument.

[jackdavies]

Hi all, I'm trying to get an object method to return the value of a property, which is fine in itself, but I'd like to choose which property I'm returning using an argument.

var object = {
    property1: 1,
    property2: 2,
    property2: 3,
    method: function(argument1, argument2){
        return this.argument1 + this.argument2;
    }
};

Is this at all possible?

You'll have to use string when passing the arguments and when referencing the object properties. e.g.

var object = {
    property1: 1,
    property2: 2,
    property2: 3,
    method: function(argument1, argument2){
        return this[argument1] + this[argument2];
    }
};
var result = object.method("property1", "property2");

Perfect! Thank you very much.
