Set object property from variable

Question

This is the example:

var side = 'left';

$('div').css({
  position: 'relative',
  side: 50
});

I put variable side instead real property name. I was expecting that this will work, but... :)

So, how to set property name from varaibles value?

Answer 1

The only way is to declare previously your object as a variable...

var options = {
  position: 'relative'
};
options[side] = 50;
$('div').css(options);
