How do I declare and use dynamic variables in JavaScript?

Question

Suppose I need to declare a JavaScript variable based on a counter, how do I do so?

var pageNumber = 1;
var \"text\"+pageNumber;

The above

Answer 1

How would you then access said variable since you don't know its name? :) You're probably better off setting a parameter on an object, e.g.:

var obj = {};
obj['text' + pageNumber] = 1;

if you -really- want to do this:

eval('var text' + pageNumber + '=1');
