add values to javascript variable - object

Question

I am trying to add values here:

var selected_value = {
 addtypeid: addtypeid,
 isnew: isnew,
 geographicareaid: geographicareaid,
 catid: catid,
 catid2: catid2,
 manufacturerid: manufacturerid,
 modelid: modelid,
 yearofmanufacturing_from: yearofmanufacturing_from,
 yearofmanufacturing_to: yearofmanufacturing_to,
};

using this code:

var categories = [];
$("input[name='categoriesfilters[]']:checked").each(function () {
 var id = $(this).attr("id");
 var value = $(this).val();
 categories[categories.length] = {
 id: value
 };
});
$.each(categories, function (id, value) {
 //alert('id : ' + id + 'value:' + value);
 selected_value.id = value;
});

however, only the last checked checkbox is added in the following format:

id[id] 166

while i would like to have there all the checkboxes in the format:

166:166,

Anyone can help me with this?

• Xotic750: Can you provide a jsFiddle showing the problem?
• Pavlo: You should probably have to change: categories[categories.length] = { id: value }; to categories[categories.length] = { 'id': id, 'value': value };
• user2417624: and how i will add those values to my var selected_value? that is my main issue
• Pavlo: First of all you must add id: [] and value: [] properties into your object 'selected_value' and then you can use selected_value.id.push(value) and selected_value.value.push(value)

Try this:

$("input[name='categoriesfilters[]']:checked").each(function () {
 var id = $(this).attr("id");
 var value = $(this).val();
 categories.push({
 id: id,
 value: value
 });
 });
$.each(categories, function (id, item) {
 //alert('id : ' + id + 'value:' + value);
 selected_value[item.id] = item.value;
});

• user2417624: i get error in this line: categories.push(obj); // obj is not defined
• ppoliani: are you sure you define the object above i.e. var obj = {}; By the way, are you sure the error says obj is not defined? This is a valid JavaScript code even if you do not define the obj. The only error i can imagine in that line is - categories is not defined
• user2417624: you are right, sorry. however, now those values are not added in my selected_value...in the post in the console they are nowhere to be seen. any chance that we can solve this on chat?
• ppoliani: if you provide a jsFiddle I'll try to sort it out for you
• ppoliani: Can you check if the categories array has data?
