Here's one way - it's possible, but messy, as you have to use eval. As
far as I can see you can't have a variable variable name, unless
you're evaluating on the fly.
For example:
<script>
var a = { b: 'x' };
var c = { a.b: 123 };
alert(c.x); // hopefully we'll get "123"
</script>
.. doesn't work, because a.b isn't a valid name.
You can do this though:
<script>
var a = { b: 'x' };
eval('var c = {'+a.b+':123}');
alert(c.x);
<script>
And you'll get 123 - but it's a pretty horrible way to do it, and
you'd have real trouble making it work well with jQuery, especially if
the criteria is changing all the time.
