Javascript Object and eval() help needed

[simonchristieis]

I have an object

function a(b,c,d){
a.name=b
a.age=c
a.dob=d
}

Billy = new a("Billy",26,"23/05/1977&quot

no problems so far

now i want to create a loop that will access whichever properties i need using this array


propArray = new Array("name","age","dob&quot



function write(){

name = "Billy"

i=1;
while i < 3 {

temp = &quot;formfield&quot;+i

// this is where the problem lies

temp = eval(name.propArray)

// i cannot get this eval function call to work

}

}


any ideas i would be very grateful

please excuse the sloppy code - this is not the actual code - just made it up to clarify things

Try this....

temp = eval(name + "." + propArray[i])

Hey - reading your code reminded me that I should be working on more Object Oriented coding - looks pretty neat.
