array name stored in variable

referencing array with name stored in variable

[babushka]

Javascript newbie here. I am trying to reference an array with a name stored in a variable. I can't seem to figure it out.

For example, I have a listbox call a function on a change event.

funtion Process(selection){

var lenofsel = selection.length;

}

The variable selection contains the selection value of the listbox and that works correctly. For example, the variable selection would hold the text "test". Now I have a "test" array that I want to reference elements in or get it's length.

selection.length doesn't work.
"selection".length doesn't work.

Any help? Thanks,

oops nevermind, that isn't my problem. I'm not sure what my problem is yet.
