I could see that it is possible to have hash array using objects like
var hash = {"a" : "1", "b" : "2"};
Couldn't still findout how to declare hash array in Array.
var arr = new Array("a" : "1", "b" : "2"); doesn't work. Any hints? TIA

It's not strictly a hash table. What you have above is an object literal
that contains a property/value list. The following snippets are equivalent:
var hash = {a : '1', b : '2'};
var hash = {}; // or new Object();
hash.a = '1';
hash.b = '2';
Couldn't still findout how to declare hash array in Array.
Why would you want to? There's no benefit. But to answer your question,
you'll have to add the properties one by one:
var arr = []; // or new Array();
arr.a = '1';
or
arr['b'] = '2';

Signature separators are two dashes followed by a space. You seem to have
omitted the space.

Thanks for pointing out that. When I quickly searched for hash array
implementation in JS, I came across that. Didn't know that it's object
and properties.
var hash = {a : '1', b : '2'};
var hash = {}; // or new Object(); hash.a = '1'; hash.b = '2';

Yes, it doesn't work--both Array and ordinary objects work same in
hash thing. I'd thought in Array, we can use reverse() method and
length property as I need to reverse the hash array--but to my
surprise, it doesn't work--even though Array has reverse() method.
Basically, I want to translate certain characters and implementing
something like PHP's strtr <http://in.php.net/strtr>. In one occasion,
I need to translate characters using map table in forward order, but in
other case need to do in reverse order. I'd thought that hash
implementation would be better in this case as it provides better
readability, etc. In JS, forward thing works fine, but couldn't reverse
such hash array. Any idea? [snip]

Sure reverse() works. It just does not work the way you thing it would.
a = new Array(1,2,3); // a[0] = 1, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 3
a.reverse( ); // now a[0] = 3, a[1] = 2, a[2] = 1
You can't swap indices and values (if this is what you want to do) in
an Array(), because indices can only be interger and values can be of
any type.

_unless_ I change the order of map and reverse the string. But you can't "untranslat e" it, because your translation function
does not do a unambiguous transformation.
You can't know what the value was that became "aaaaaa". If it was
123, 111111 or 1113. Each of then give "aaaaaa" after translation.
Yes, you're right. Reversing the map table wouldn't help for
ambiguous transformation. Thanks for pointing out.

Note however that creating an array is not useful in this case, since
you don't use any of the Array features, but only (mis)use the Array as
an Object to store properties in it. There is no added value in using an
Array for this.

Or why I just did myArray = "Computers" but myArray.length is

There is a new trend to treat arrays and hashes as they were some
variations of the same thing. But they are not at all.
If you are doing *array", then you have to use only integer values for
array index, as it was since ALGOL.

Many times we have a bunch of enums we have from either different enums or
the same enum that will have various numeric values assigned. Rarely will
there be collisions in numbering between the enums. These enums you might
imagine would be like OrderPrice=27, OrderQuantity=50, OrderSide=62. There
may be a lot of these. So normally what we would have to do is store these
in hash table so hashtable=value could be set with the value....

I'm using an array to store map features (name, lat, lon, caption,
etc), from which the user can then select an individual feature. The
problem is that when thousands of features are stored in the array,
looping over the entire array looking for a match is SLOW.
So I'm running a hash in parallel, where every time a feature is
pushed onto the array it's name is also added to the hash as an
identical key value pair. I then check if the key...

A quick sanity check, and I think I am correct, but just to make

another you can uniquely track them simply by using an ArrayList or

stuff the object into the array. Later on, assume the object is
mutable, the object changes, but you can find it, if you have enough
