Push an associative item into an array in JavaScript

Answer 1

JavaScript doesn't have associate arrays. You need to use Objects instead:

var obj = {};
var name = "name";
var val = 2;
obj[name] = val;
console.log(obj);​

To get value you can use now different ways:

console.log(obj.name);​
console.log(obj[name]);​
console.log(obj["name"]);​
