You create an empty hash, like so:
var buttons = {};
then you use array-index notation to set the variable-key-named property:
var text1 = "Open";
var text2 = "Save";
var text3 = "Cancel";
buttons[text1] = function() { ... };
buttons[text2] = function() { ... };
buttons[text3] = function() { ... };
Then you pass that hash (which now has three properties, buttons.Open,
buttons.Save, buttons.Cancel) in the dialog init options:
elm.dialog({
buttons: buttons
});
