accessing a general javascript object property

Question

I have setup this js object:

 var tableTypes = {
        "stockRcmnd":{
            "name":"stockRcmnd",
            "columns": ['1','2', '3']
        }, 
        "stockChange":{
            "name":"stockChange",
            "columns": ['4','5', '6']
        }
    };

now, I want to get the columns , dynamically:

property = "stockChange";

columns = tableTypes.{property}.columns;

property = "stockRcmnd";

columns = tableTypes.{property}.columns;

here is a jsfiddle;

any idea how to do it?

Object properties can also be accessed like this in JavaScript:

tableTypes[property].columns
