使用javascript和jquery，用数组结构填充相关的选择框

使用答案这个问题 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57522/javascript-array-with-a-mix-of-literals-and-arrays，我已经能够根据另一个选择框的选择来填充一个选择框。 (我在这里发布了我的答案 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57522/javascript-array-with-a-mix-of-literals-and-arrays#58062）从服务器端构建的数组结构中提取数据，存储在 .js 文件中并在 html 页面中引用。

现在我想添加第三个选择框。如果我有 3 组数据（型号、品牌、选项），如下所示（伪代码）：

cars : [Honda[Accord[Lx, Dx]], [Civic[2dr, Hatchback]],
   [Toyota[Camry[Blk, Red]], [Prius[2dr,4dr]]

例如：如果选择 Honda，则下一个选择框将具有 [Accord Civic]，如果选择 Accord，则下一个选择框将具有 [Lx Dx]

我怎么能够

1）创建一个数组结构来保存数据？这样

2）我可以使用一个选择框中的值来引用下一个选择框所需的值

Thanks

EDIT

我可以创建以下内容，但无法以有助于填充选择框的方式找出参考

var cars = [
 {"makes"  : "Honda",
  "models"  : [
    {'Accord' : ["2dr","4dr"]} ,
    {'CRV'  : ["2dr","Hatchback"]} ,
    {'Pilot': ["base","superDuper"] } ]
 },
 {"makes"   :"Toyota",
  "models"  : [
    {'Prius'   : ["green","reallyGreen"]} ,
    {'Camry'   : ["sporty","square"]} ,
    {'Corolla' : ["cheap","superFly"] } ]
 } ] ;              

 alert(cars[0].models[0].Accord[0]); ---> 2dr

我更喜欢这样的数据结构：

var carMakers = [
    { name: 'Honda', models: [
            { name: 'Accord', features: ['2dr', '4dr'] },
            { name: 'CRV', features: ['2dr', 'Hatchback'] },
            { name: 'Pilot', features: ['base', 'superDuper'] }
        ]},

    { name: 'Toyota', models: [
            { name: 'Prius', features: ['green', 'superGreen'] },
            { name: 'Camry', features: ['sporty', 'square'] },
            { name: 'Corolla', features: ['cheap', 'superFly'] }
        ]}
];

给定三个带有 id 的选择列表：“maker”、“model”和“features”，您可以用它来操作它们（我相信这是非常不言自明的）：

// returns array of elements whose 'prop' property is 'value'
function filterByProperty(arr, prop, value) {
    return $.grep(arr, function (item) { return item[prop] == value });
}

// populates select list from array of items given as objects: { name: 'text', value: 'value' }
function populateSelect(el, items) {
    el.options.length = 0;
    if (items.length > 0)
        el.options[0] = new Option('please select', '');

    $.each(items, function () {
        el.options[el.options.length] = new Option(this.name, this.value);
    });
}

// initialization
$(document).ready(function () {
    // populating 1st select list
    populateSelect($('#maker').get(0), $.map(carMakers, function(maker) { return { name: maker.name, value: maker.name} }));

    // populating 2nd select list
    $('#maker').bind('change', function() {
        var makerName = this.value,
            carMaker = filterByProperty(carMakers, 'name', makerName),
            models = [];

        if (carMaker.length > 0)
            models = $.map(carMaker[0].models, function(model) { return { name: model.name, value: makerName + '.' + model.name} });

        populateSelect($('#model').get(0), models);
        $('#model').trigger('change');
    });

    // populating 3rd select list
    $('#model').bind('change', function () {
        var nameAndModel = this.value.split('.'),
            features = [];

        if (2 == nameAndModel.length) {
            var makerName = nameAndModel[0], 
                carModel = nameAndModel[1],
                carMaker = filterByProperty(carMakers, 'name', makerName);

            if (carMaker.length > 0) {
                var model = filterByProperty(carMaker[0].models, 'name', carModel)

                if (model.length > 0)
                    features = $.map(model[0].features, function(feature) { return { name: feature, value: makerName + '.' + carModel + '.' + feature} })
            }
        }

        populateSelect($('#feature').get(0), features);
    })

    // alerting value on 3rd select list change
    $('#feature').bind('change', function () { 
        if (this.value.length > 0)
            alert(this.value);
    })
});
