Dictionary Object

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change]

Object that stores data key, item pairs.

y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Remarks

A Dictionary object is the equivalent of a PERL associative array. Items can be any form of data, and are stored in the array. Each item is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item and is usually a integer or a string, but can be anything except an array.

The following code illustrates how to create a Dictionary object:

var y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
y.add ("a", "test");
if (y.Exists("a"))
   document.write("true");
...
