How to declare a dynamic local variable in Javascript

Question

I want to create a local variable dynamically. JavaScript: Dynamically Creating Variables for Loops is not exactly what I am looking for. I dont want an array. I want to access

Answer 1

I have written short code snippet which will create both local and global variable dynamically

function createVar(name,dft){
 this[name] = (typeof dft !== 'undefined')?dft:"";
}

createVar("name1","gaurav"); // it will create global variable
createVar("id");// it will create global variable

alert(name1);
alert(id);
function outer(){
 var self = this;
  alert(self.name1 + " inside");
}
createVar.call(outer,"name1","saurav"); // it will create local variable
outer.call(outer); // to point to local variable.
outer(); // to point to global variable
alert(name1);

hope this helps Regards Gaurav Khurana
