Property of object is showing as undefined

How can I assign this empty array to a property of an object, so I can reference it using dot notation later?

http://jsfiddle.net/bobbyrne01/ckdfyfxp/

var AJAX_Utils_AddressBook = {
    contacts: null
};

var contact = [];
AJAX_Utils_AddressBook.contacts = contact;

console.log(AJAX_Utils_AddressBook.contacts.contact.length);

This is the error I'm getting ..

AJAX_Utils_AddressBook.contacts.contact is undefined

There is no object contact in contacts.

You would access it with:

console.log(AJAX_Utils_AddressBook.contacts.length);

For your line to work, your code would need to look like

var contact = [];
AJAX_Utils_AddressBook.contacts = { contact: contact };
