title: How to search through object with variable? -- javascript
body: <p>My problem is the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var alphabet = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3, d: 4, e: 5, f: 6, g: 7, h: 8, i: 9, j: 10, k: 11, l: 12, m: 13, n: 14, o: 15, p: 16, q: 17, r: 18, s: 19, t: 20, u: 21, v: 22, w: 23, x: 24, y: 25, z: 26 };
  
  var chr = 'a'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I try to do the following:
  <code>var chr2 = alphabet.chr</code> it returns <code>(object Object)</code> </p>
  
  <p>Sorry if this is a simple question, I couldn't find an answer anywhere.</p>
