How to pass an array of arrays into a function at JavaScript?

Question

How can I define an array of arrays and pass that variable into a function so I can manipulate it at JavaScript?

As like:

JSP side:

object.method({ {"#id1",2}, {"#id2",3}...});
...

JS side:

var object= {
defaults: {
  idSelector: "#id1"
},
method: function(options) {
  if (options && !jQuery.isEmptyObject(options))
     $.extend(this.defaults, options);
     var that = this;
     var opts = that.defaults;
     //Try to reach every array step by step?
      });
   }
}

use json data format . Convert your object into json string in your JSP page. Parse that JSON string in your javascript.

Here's one of the ways to do that:

Your servlet can return a text, representing a json dictionary. Here's the documentation of a JSON API http://www.json.org/java/

Your javascript client code can fetch this json dictionary, something like:

$.getJSON('ajax/test.json', function(data) {
var items = [];

$.each(data, function(key, val) {
    items.push('<li id="' + key + '">' + val + '</li>');
});

});

now items points to a bunch of <li> with your results

I will just pass parameters from javascript(at document.ready()) to my .js file.

The functions' variable that will get the values should be like that(JSON format will be used):

defaults: [{
  idSelector: '',
  faqId: '' 
}]
