Dynamically creating keys in javascript associative array

var text = ' name = oscar '
var dict = new Array();
var keyValuePair = text.split(' = ');
dict[ keyValuePair[0] ] = 'whatever';
alert( dict ); // prints nothing.

var a = new Array();
a['name'] = 'oscar';
alert(a['name']);

var text = 'name = oscar'
var dict = new Array()
var keyValuePair = text.replace(/ /g,'').split('=');
dict[ keyValuePair[0] ] = keyValuePair[1];
alert( dict[keyValuePair[0]] );

// create an empty associative array (in JavaScript it is called ... Object)
var dict = {};   // huh? {} is a shortcut for "new Object()"

// add a key named fred with value 42
dict.fred = 42;  // we can do that because "fred" is a constant
                 // and conforms to id rules

// add a key named 2bob2 with value "twins!"
dict["2bob2"] = "twins!";  // we use the subscript notation because
                           // the key is arbitrary (not id)

// add an arbitrary dynamic key with a dynamic value
var key = ..., // insanely complex calculations for the key
    val = ...; // insanely complex calculations for the value
dict[key] = val;

// read value of "fred"
val = dict.fred;

// read value of 2bob2
val = dict["2bob2"];

// read value of our cool secret key
val = dict[key];

// change the value of fred
dict.fred = "astra";
// the assignment creates and/or replaces key-value pairs

// change value of 2bob2
dict["2bob2"] = [1, 2, 3];  // any legal value can be used

// change value of our secret key
dict[key] = undefined;
// contrary to popular beliefs assigning "undefined" does not remove the key

// go over all keys and values in our dictionary
for(key in dict){
  // for-in loop goes over all properties including inherited properties
  // let's use only our own properties
  if(dict.hasOwnProperty(key){

// let's replaced it recreating all original data

  // we can't add the original secret key because it was dynamic,
  // we can only add static keys
