Java Script Associates Arrays

Hi Guys,
              It is always good to have a associated  arrays instead of plain arrays in java java script. The below sample code demonstrates the use of java script associated arrays.

 var gameNdPlayesr= new Array();

 gameNdPlayesr["cricket"]="Sachin";
 gameNdPlayesr["football"]="Maradona";
 gameNdPlayesr["golf"]="Woods";

 var sport=confirm("Please enter your favourite sport");

 alert( "The king of "+ sport+" is "+gameNdPlayesr[sport]);

Thanks,
