[Mapbender-dev] Re: [Mapbender] #120: replace ["..."] with dot notation in JS

[Christoph Baudson (WhereGroup)]

Thanks for your input Marc!

Try exporting the mb_mapObj from Mapbender, it is incomplete.

It may fail because some objects are initialised as arrays, see 
/javascripts/map_obj.js.

Maybe try your example with

var c = [];

instead of {}

I would be curious if this failed. This could be the reason.

Nevertheless, going with a single style will improve readability and 
minimize errors. I guess I will update the code conventions later on if 
no one contradicts.

Cheers

Christoph
