I don’t know if this is possible, and I’m pretty new to JavaScript and programing, but here is what I’m trying to do:
I have a table in HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td id="w1t1">kc</td>
<td id="w1s1">30</td>
</tr>
</table>
I have an object in JS:
const kc = {name: kc, color: "red", score: 0};
I would like to grab the text like so:
let team1 = document.getElementById("w1t1").textContent;
this should set the value of team1 to "kc".
I would then like to concatenate with ".score" to access kc.score like so:
function test(){
let t1 = team1 + ".score";
console.log(t1);
}
I would like the value of t1 to be 0, which is the value of kc.score, but instead it’s value is "kc.score".
is there anyway to get this to work?
>Solution :
As far I understand you want the score by team1 so here is how you can do this
// First store name of the team in a variable like you are doing
const team1 = document.getElementById("w1t1").textContent;
// now in team1 var we have value of kc
// modify your object a bit
const team = { kc: {name: kc, color: "red", score: 0} };
console.log(team[team1].score)
Let me know if this works!
