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

Do you need something like this?

function createVariables(properties, context){
 for( var variable in properties){
    context[variable] = properties[variable ];
 }
}

So, calling as createVariables(properties, this) will fill the current scope with values from properties.

<script type="text/javascript">
        var properties = new Object();
        properties["var1"] = "value1";
        properties["var2"] = "value2";

        createVariables(properties, this);

        document.write("Outside the function : " + var1 + "<br>");
        document.write("Outside the function : " + var2 + "<br>");
    </script>
