javascript variable name replacing actual value

I have a javascript function ...

function check_val(name, cat)
{
    alert(cat);

    var val = name.indexOf('[');
    if (val == -1){
        //$('input[type="checkbox"][value='+ name + ']')[0].click()      
        val = '"' + name + '"'
        type = "'" + cat + "'"
        $.get(url,{'ajaxtype':'content', type : val}, function(data{$('#search_container').html(data);$('#rotator').hide();});
    }
}

when i call this function with argument say check_val('xyz','pqr')

The problem is when I check the request.get parameter I am getting 

<QueryDict: {u'type': [u'"xyz"'], u'ajaxtype': [u'content']}>

instead of 

<QueryDict: {u'pqr': [u'"xyz"'], u'ajaxtype': [u'content']}>

Build the object beforehand and use array subscript syntax:

var requestData = { 'ajaxtype': 'content' };
requestData[type] = val;
$.get(url, requestData,
  function(data{$('#search_container').html(data);$('#rotator').hide();});

Instead of {'ajaxtype':'content', type : val} try {'ajaxtype':'content', "'" + cat + "'" : val}.

This way JS should know that it's not key name but variable.
