Sets or returns an item for a specified key in a Dictionary object. For collections, returns an item based on the specified key. Read/write.
object.Item(key)[ = newitem]
The Item property has the following parts:
Part | Description |
---|---|
object | Required. Always the name of a collection or Dictionary object. |
key | Required. Key associated with the item being retrieved or added. |
newitem | Optional. Used for Dictionary object only; no application for collections. If provided, newitem is the new value associated with the specified key. |
If key is not found when changing an item, a new key is created with the specified newitem. If key is not found when attempting to return an existing item, a new key is created and its corresponding item is left empty.
The following example illustrates the use of the Item property.
function DicTest(keyword)
{
var a, d;
d = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
d.Add("a", "Athens");
d.Add("b", "Belgrade");
d.Add("c", "Cairo");
a = d.Item(keyword);
return(a);
}
