I have a whole bunch of JavaScript objects, to be specific, one per classroom in my school. These have a couple properties each. I'm trying to reference them with a variable as name, like this:

var lok001 = {floor: 0, x: 2037, y: 713};

var lok002 = {floor: 0, x: 1759, y: 743};

This goes on for about 150 classrooms. I'm trying to get the x and y posititon from them

var lokVan = lok001;

outputObject.innerHTML = lokVan.x;

outputObject is defined earlier in the document, but lokVan.x seems to output "undefined".

How can I get this to work?

Edit: I solved it. Instead of using

var lokVan = lok001;

which reads lok001 as a string, I had to use this

var lokVan = eval(lok001);

This reads the object lok001 and transfers it to lokVan, instead of trying to read properties from a string

Edit 2: I've read that eval shouldn't be used, so I've now put all the classrooms into another object, so that I can do

van = 003;

lokalen[van].x;

where

var lokalen = {

    '001': { floor: 0, x: 1, y: 1 },

    '002': { floor: 0, x: 2, y: 2 },

    '003': { floor: 0, x: 3, y: 3 },

     ...

}

You should use = sign to assing objects to variables.

var lok001 = {floor: 0, x: 2037, y: 713};

var lok002 = {floor: 0, x: 1759, y: 743};

Did you just miss the = between var lok001 and {...};?
