Associative array in JavaScript

We can use associative arrays in javascript somewhat similar to PHP. Here is an example:

/* Declaring array in javascript */
var opensource = new Array();

/* assigning values to this javascript associative array */

opensource[‘cms’] = ‘Joomla’;
opensource[‘forum’] = ‘phpBB’;
opensource[‘blog’] = ‘Wordpress’;
opensource[‘os’] = ‘Linux’;
opensource[‘database’] = ‘MySQL’;
opensource[‘webserver’] = ‘Apache’;

We can navigate this array as

for(script in opensource)
{
//to get the key for each index
alert(script)
//to get the value for each position
alert(opensource[script]);
}
