[Proto-Scripty] Re: Need clarification or guidance regarding arrays/hashes
Hi Luisgo,
I does the following test:
var test=$H({'1234':{},'12345':{}});
alert(test.inspect());
var myVar='123';
alert('string:'+Object.isString(myVar)+' / number:'+Object.isNumber
(myVar));
test.set(myVar,{});
alert(test.inspect());
myVar=1230;
alert('string:'+Object.isString(myVar)+' / number:'+Object.isNumber
(myVar));
test.set(myVar,{});
alert(test.inspect());
myVar=0456;
alert('string:'+Object.isString(myVar)+' / number:'+Object.isNumber
(myVar));
test.set(myVar,{});
alert(test.inspect());
And even if it's a number or a string, the input is well inserted in
the Hash.
I just have trouble in case the number the ID is a number beginning
with 0, it seems that it interpret strangly the value.
btw as you could see this code work (well !) in IE6 and FF3.0.
Your trouble is I think spmewhere else.

I have a hash that, as the code executes is filled with numeric ID's
as hash variable names. I basically need it to end up sort of like
this:
{
'4567':{},
'9546':{},
'6497':{},
...
}
The problem is the IDs are passed as strings but casted as integers
when I do:
myHash.set( idPassedInVariable, {} );
This causes the hash to be filled by undefined items where the
missing numeric IDs would be. In the example above I would end up
with 0 to 4566 being undefined and every space in between the rest of
the keys.
Am I doing something wrong? Isn't there a way to make set pass the
string or is javascript simply going to force it to be a number?
Thanks!

Using FireBug, I entered ...
var a = {'4':{}, '8':{}, '12':{} }
and then ...
console.dir(a)
and got ...
console.dir(a)
4
Object
8
Object
12
Object
Which is exactly what I would expect.
What if you cast the value as a string?
myHash.set( String(idPassedInVariable), {} );

Numbers starting with a 0 are considered to be octal.
010 = 8
020 = 16
etc.
