Please have a look at the code below. The problem I'm having is that it seems that I create 4 references to the same object rather than 4 unique objects because when I change one value in groupDataArrays the same value is also changes in groupDataArraysOfficial, groupDataArraysValid, groupDataArraysOfficialValid
I'm trying to do a jQuery extend in order to avoid creating a reference, for example
groupDataArrays[resultKey] = jQuery.extend({}, resultGroup);
But it don't work. Do you know how to avoid this referencing error?
Thanks in advance.
for (var i = 0; i < dataCollection.length; i++) {
var data = dataCollection[i];
var currentRecord = data.Record.Record;
for (var resultKey in currentRecord) {
//It seems like this declaration hase something to do with the referencing
var resultGroup = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupOfficial = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupValid = currentRecord[resultKey];
var resultGroupOfficialValid = currentRecord[resultKey];
//Every element contains these objects so its enough to loop through the first
//and then fix the other values at the same time. Perhaps this is the error?
//But it seems uneccesary to do 4 for loops instead of doing one?
for (var resultGroupElement in resultGroup) {
if (dataTables[resultGroupElement] != null) {
var curResultGroup = dataTables[resultGroupElement];
}
else {
var curResultGroup = [];
}
var stopTimeConverted = convertDateToWorkWithAllBrowsers(data.StopTime); //Is necesary in order for date objects to be created in firefox and I.E

resultKey,

);
resultGroup[resultGroupElement] = curResultGroup;
