You don't need jQuery for that. Use regular javascript
var arr = new Array();
// or var arr = [];
arr.push('value1');
arr.push('value2');
Note: In javascript, you can also use Objects as Arrays, but still have access to the Array prototypes. This makes the object behave like an array:
var obj = new Object();
Array.prototype.push.call(obj, 'value');
will create an object that looks like:
{
0: 'value',
length: 1
}
You can access the vaules just like a normal array f.ex obj[0]
.
