Add dynamic key, value pairs to JavaScript array or hash table

Question

I\'m trying to add a key value pair to an existing javascript associative array. The key needs to be a variable. This is for JSON encoding. I realize there are many plugins

Answer 1

var ary = [];

function pushToAry(name, val) {
   var obj = {};
   obj[name] = val;
   ary.push(obj);
}

pushToAry("myName", "myVal");

Having just fully read your question though, all you need is the following

$(your collection of form els).serializeArray();

Good old jQuery
