var data = [row,row2];

This is an Array containing two objects. Can i place some thing like this.

var data = [rowData,row2];

Where rowData is an Array containing Objects. How can i make rowData behave like an Object like rowData[0],rowData[1] etc etc... with in the data Array.

i think you mean:

var data = [rowData,row2];
//access rowdata:
data[0][1]...

or you can use a json object:

var data = {
     rowData: rowData,
     row2: row2
};
//access rowData:
data.rowData[1]...

Just for the sake of clarity, technically that's not a JSON object. It's just a regular old JavaScript object. :)

@Drackir, then what is a JSON object?

Richard Marskell - Drackir Over a year ago

Well, the JSON equivalent would be: { "rowData": "value of rowData", "row2": "value of row2" } JSON has strict rules as to how it is defined (ie. everything in double quotes unless it's an array, object, number, boolean value or null). I believe it's safe to say that every JSON object is a JavaScript object, but not every JavaScript object is a JSON object. Take for example, if you had {"myfunc":function() { /*...*/ }} This is not JSON, since myfunc is a function and has no way to be defined through JSON. However, it is a valid JavaScript object.

Just wanted to add that this is a common misconception; one that I made myself until someone pointed it out to me. :)

Certainly, arrays can contain arrays.
