can i put an object on an object javascript code example

Example 1: javascript add to object

var element = {}, cart = [];
element.id = id;
element.quantity = quantity;
cart.push(element);

// Array of Objects in form {element: {id: 10, quantity: 10} }
var element = {}, cart = [];
element.id = id;
element.quantity = quantity;
cart.push({element: element});

Example 2: javascript append to object

How about storing the alerts as records in an array instead of properties of a single object ?

var alerts = [ 
    {num : 1, app:'helloworld',message:'message'},
    {num : 2, app:'helloagain',message:'another message'} 
]
And then to add one, just use push:

alerts.push({num : 3, app:'helloagain_again',message:'yet another message'});
