Reference a value in JavaScript

Question

I have a couple of check boxes that I'd like to use their "name" attribute as the value I reference within my array.

Let's say I have an array like so:

var test = {
    "one" : 1,
    "two" : 2,
}

var someBtn = "one";

How can I say the following?

test.someBtn; // Which would translate to test.one

Obviously, test.someBtn does not work. Is this even possible?

I'm confused. The `test` in your question is an object, not an array. — Zhihao, May 14 '13 at 04:11

Just refer to it as if it were an array:

test[someBtn]
