Error: null or not an object - how to reference object dynamically

[madhra]

Hi everybody
What is wrong with the following code?

function Test(month, day) {
var months = ["","Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "...", "Nov", "Dec"];
var getDate = {
"Jan":["January: ","1"],
"Feb":["February: ", "1","2", "...","29"]}

var x = months[month];
return getDate.x[0] + getDate.x[day];
//If I change getDate.x[day] to getDate.Feb[day], then it works. But I need it dynamically
}

alert(Test(2, 1))

I am getting error "'x' is null or not an object".
If I change getDate.x[day] to getDate.Feb[day], then it works.
But I need it dynamically

Thanks in advance

Welcome Raja to The Scripts.

I know eval is evil and shouldn't be used, but, at the moment, I can only think of this solution:

return eval("getDate." + x + "[0]") + "" + eval("getDate." + x + "[day]");

If someone knows of a better solution, please "correct" this.

Your solution works. I just had a syntax error when I wrote first time.
Thank you.
