How do you create objects in javascript?

Objects in JavaScript are defined differently to most other languages. You define (and create) a JavaScript object with an object literal:var person = {firstName:"John", lastName:"Doe", age:50, eyeColor:"blue"}; This would create an "person" object. Within this object each name:value pair is called a property . Each objects property can be accessed in 2 ways:person.lastName; orperson['lastName'];
