I have difficulties understanding what you're trying to achieve. As someone mentioned, Java is to Javascript as Ham is to Hamster. They're two different beasts.
For the 'elem+1' situation, you can do: this['elem'+1] = '...'; to dynamically create variables. But usually you don't have to resort to doing something like that if you code things properly.
