Storing Values in an Array from Textbox in Javascript

Question

I've been trying to experiment in a way in which i can store values entered from a textbox into an array.(using JavaScript or JQuery)

I understand I can do it this way:

var array = []; var input = document.getElementById('input_id').value; array.push(input);

But the functionality that I want to achieve is to be able to give the user an option to choose which array they want to save their input to.

Summary:

• How can a user choose which array to store the input text to

Answer 1

Try to use an object with keys as the options you want to give to the user and its value as array.

{'opt1':[],'opt2':[],...}

When the user selects his option get that array and obj['opt'].push(inputValue) . If the option does not exist then initialize a new array obj['someKey'] = [] and start pushing into it
