Foil 121 How to define Objects in JavaScript

From Overview of JavaScript I -- Basic Web Scripting Language CPS616 Technologies of the Information Age -- Spring Semester 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox (Tom Scavo)


We can use constructors described later but simplest way is:
newobject ={};
newobject.car = "honda";
newobject.wheels = 4;
newobject.color = "red";
Or newobject={car:"honda",wheels:4,color:"red"};
Or newobject = new Array();
newobject["car"] = "honda"; // etc.
This allows an "associative array"
