How to create Hash object/array using jquery?

Question

I know there is a Hash() object in the Javascript prototype framework, but is there anything in Jquery like this?

As I would like to stick with one javascript framew

Answer 1

There is no prototype Hash equivalent in jQuery that I know of.

Could the following be of any use to you? using jQuery

var starSaves = {};

function myHover(id,pos)
{
    var starStrip = $('.star_strip_' + id);
    if(!starSaves[id])
    {
        var starSave = [];
        starStrip.each(function(index,element){
            starSave[index] = $(element).attr('src');
            $(element).attr('src', index < pos ? '/images/star_1.gif' : '/images/star_0.gif');
        });
        starSaves[id] = starSave;
    }
}
