How can I use a jQuery string as an object name?

Question

How can I use a string variable as an object name in jQuery?

var elem = "objectName";

...to be used in a similar fashion to...

var opts = $.nt.elem.options;

I tried var opts = $.nt[elem]options; to no avail.

Any ideas?

You've missed a dot in var opts = $.nt[elem].options;

Ah. Good catch. I tried dots on both sides, but not just on the right. Thank you!
