Multidimensional Javascript Array Syntax?

Question

I cant seem to find a resource online for the syntax of multidimensional arrays, I was hoping someone here could identify the error, thanks. I'm storing the array like this:

songs={{'title':'I Like It','artist':'Enrique Englesias','url':'audio/I Like It.mp3'},
{'title':'Driving Me Crazy','artist':'Sam Adams','url':'audio/driving me crazy.mp3'},

Then im calling them like this

document.write(songs[0]['artist']);

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You're using { where you mean [.

Try:

 songs=[{'title':'I Like It','artist':'Enrique Englesias','url':'audio/I Like It.mp3'},
 {'title':'Driving Me Crazy','artist':'Sam Adams','url':'audio/driving me crazy.mp3'}

Answer 2

Try:

songs = [{'title':'I Like It','artist':'Enrique Englesias','url':'audio/I Like It.mp3'},
 {'title':'Driving Me Crazy','artist':'Sam Adams','url':'audio/driving me crazy.mp3'}];

...but note this is an array of two objects, not a multi-dimensional array.

Answer 3

Rewrite your songs array like so. This way you have an array of objects.

songs=[{'title':'I Like It','artist':'Enrique Englesias','url':'audio/I Like It.mp3'},
{'title':'Driving Me Crazy','artist':'Sam Adams','url':'audio/driving me crazy.mp3'}]

now you can do something like this

songs[0].title

Answer 4

That isn't an array. It's an object hash. And a malformed one at that. You could access it as desired, but it needs to look like this:

songs=[{'title':'I Like It','artist':'Enrique Englesias','url':'audio/I Like It.mp3'},
 {'title':'Driving Me Crazy','artist':'Sam Adams','url':'audio/driving me crazy.mp3'}];
