No, you'll have to create objects containing the name value
a=[]
a['chicken']={key:'chicken',value:whatever}
a.push(a['chicken'])
Then access them with a[0].key / a[0].value - but of course that's
duplicating stuff.
var fruits = new Array();
fruits["oranges"] = {key:'oranges',value:25};
fruits.push(fruits["oranges"]);
fruits["bananas"] = {key:'bananas',value:15};
fruits.push(fruits["bananas"]);
fruits["pineapples"] = {key:'pineapples',value:8};
fruits.push(fruits["pineapples"]);
for (i=0;i<fruits.length;i++) {
alert(fruits[i].key+','+fruits[i].value);
}
Which is pretty nasty...
