[] : {} );        }        // at the end, psuh or assign the value        if ( lookup.length != undefined ) {             lookup.push( $(this).val() );        }else {              lookup[ named[ cap ] ]  = $(this).val();        }        // assign the reference back to root        lookup = data;      });    return data;  };})(jQuery);
