Set property according to value returned by other property

I'm using the simpleUpload.js script. I'm trying to customize the error messages. The documentation says that:

The type of error can be accessed using error.name and its message at error.message

Given the following callback:

error: function(error){
    //upload failed
    $('#progress').html("Failure!<br>" + error.name + ": " + error.message);
}

as explained in the docs, one of the possible errors is 'InvalidFileExtensionError' which is returned by error.namewhile the relative message is given by error.message

Now I would like to change the text of error.message but I don't understand how to 'associate' error.name with error.message and set the new message. Kind of:

if error.name = "InvalidFileExtensionError" then error.message = "Bad extension"

You can make an object of names with your new values like this

var obj = {"InvalidFileExtensionError": "Bad extension", 
           "otherError" :"other message" };

And then access like this

 obj[error.name]
