i can not use variable as javascript argument

Question

i am using Javascript on my page. there is a problem when i use variable to send parameter to function, when i write complete parameters directly as argument it works good like here

<script type="text/JavaScript">
        var X = new MediaController({ContainerDiv:"player",MediaUrl:"test.flv"}');
</script>

but as i use a temp to put this argument in it, and then use temp as argument function it does not work!

<script type="text/JavaScript">
    var temp;
       temp = '{ContainerDiv:"player",MediaUrl:"test.flv"}';
        var X = new MediaController(temp);
</script>

is there a point i missed?

You are assigning a String to the temp variable, which isn't the same as assigning the corresponding object. Instead of this

temp = '{ContainerDiv:"player",MediaUrl:"test.flv"}';

just do this:

temp = {ContainerDiv:"player",MediaUrl:"test.flv"};

and it should work the same.

You are passing in a string, not an object.

var temp = {ContainerDiv: "player", MediaUrl: "test.flv"};
var X = new MediaController(temp);
