Here is my take on the problem: nArray utility function

function nArray() {
    var arr = new Array();
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
    for(var i=0;i 1 && nArray.apply(this, args)) || undefined;
    }
    return arr;
}

Usage example:

var arr = nArray(3, 3, 3);

Results in 3x3x3 array of undefined values.
