Using this on objects

So I'm making a game, but I'm having trouble selling items. I made the object

var price = {
sword:3,
fish:1
}

And once you click on something with class "item", it should tell you the price Except It isn't working

$(".item").click(function(){
alert(price.(this.id))
});

Can someone help me?

Replace

    alert(price.(this.id))

    alert(price[this.id])

You can't access object properties by dynamic names from dot notation, use subscript notation.
