Question

I have an array declared like this:

var dict = [];

When I do this:

dict["watch"] = 0;

this expression alerts NaN

alert (dict["watch"]);

I know this is because watch() is a function that is part of the object prototype. Is there anyway around this so I can use any word as a key in my array?

I am using Firefox 3.6.6

You can do the following:

var dict =
    {
        "watch": 0
    };

alert(dict["watch"]);
