VbsEdit is a VBScript and Javascript editor


object.Item(key)[ = newitem]

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); }
