JS associative object with duplicate names

Question

ok, so I have an object like:

var myobject = {
   \"field_1\": \"lorem ipsum\",
   \"field_2\": 1,
   \"field_2\": 2,
   \"field_2\": 6
};

Answer 1

You're overwriting the same value several times.

What you want is probably something like:

var myarray = {
   "field_1": "lorem ipsum",
   "field_2": [1,2,6]
};

Which could be written in a manner similar to what you currently have:

var myarray = {};

myarray.field_1 = [];
myarray.field_1.push('lorem ipsum');
myarray.field_2 = [];
myarray.field_2.push(1);
myarray.field_2.push(2);
myarray.field_2.push(6);

Note that I made field_1 an array as well, which - for consistency - I thought you might want.
