[Xerte] Accessing associative arrays via variable?

[Dave Burnett]

Right.
OK in my instance as I have control over the term format.
AFA accessibility, I'm guessing no way to tabindex without setting each term in it's own display?

I think it didn't properly find all the instances in the text.
 
term
 
term.
 
term,
 
-term.
 
Term.
 
TERM
 
terms.
 
It just looked for [space]term[space] and didn't try anything more intelligent. Also it wasn't keyboard accessibile but that ought not to be reason to not have it at all.

Julian, before I go much further down this road, I ran across this and was wondering if you could elaborate:

"I commented out that functionality as I wasn't too happy with the way it worked,.."

Hope Santa didn't bring too many lumps of coal to the Xerte listers.

b = new Object();
b.blah = 'value';
v='blah';
debug(b[v]); //works for me

debug(helps_defs.Atomic); // gives me "Roosters are atomic"

Can I sub a variable into the place of .Atomic in that last statement?

Sort of like in AW, to call a value from a property list using a variable for the property name I'd use:

Trace(my_prop_list[Symbol("a"^some_variable)])
