combining objects

[redbullmarky]

Hi there

Javascript definitely my weak point, so here's my question that may seem obvious to some...

 

If I have two 'objects' that I use to store data, eg:

 

var first = {name:'Mark', age:27}
var second = {location:'UK'}

 

what's the easiest way to combine them together so that I have something like:

 

{name:'Mark', age:27, location:'UK'}

 

Cheers

Mark

try something like

 

first.location = second.location;

I did some more research on that and found that there is no easy way to combine json objects. If it were an array you could use concat but that will not work in this case. I will work on a function for that..

ahh worked wonders.cheers!

 

if (extraparams)
{
   for (i in extraparams)
   {
      params[i] = extraparams[i];			
   }		
}

 

however, i did a bit more digging around mootools which i'm using, and found that i can also do:

 

if (extraparams)
{
   Object.extend(params, extraparams);
}

 

cheers for the help!
