Reset to default 14Thats not an array, its an object. You want to do something like:
var myObject = {
'DateOfBirth' : '06/11/1978',
'Phone' : '770-786',
'Email' : '[email protected]' ,
'Ethnicity' : 'Declined' ,
'Race' : 'OtherRace'
};
// To get the value:
var race = myObject.Race;
If the Objects are inside an array var ArrayValues = [{object}, {object}, ...]; then regular array accessors will work:
var raceName = ArrayValues[0].Race;
Or, if you want to loop over the values:
for (var i = 0; i < ArrayValues.length; i++) {
var raceName = ArrayValues[i].Race;
}
Good documentation for arrays can be found at the Mozilla Developer Network
A few things here.
You do not use Array, moreover, Array is actually what you can call when creating an Array, which you overwrite.
Second, you have an object ({...}), but you do not assign it to something. Do you perhaps want to store it in a variable? (var obj = {...})?
Thirdly, the last , should not be there since there aren't any more elements.
If you have stored it in a variable, you can access it like obj.Race.
var myObject = {
'DateOfBirth' : '06/11/1978',
'Phone' : '770-786',
'Email' : '[email protected]' ,
'Ethnicity' : 'Declined' ,
'Race' : 'OtherRace'
};
// To get the value:
var race = myObject.Race;
//or
var race = myArray[index].Race;
