• you can't have a non numeric key for arrays in javascript – Mukesh Soni Commented Jun 26, 2012 at 11:17
• thank you for the reply, what would be the best approach for this? – user1184100 Commented Jun 26, 2012 at 11:18
• store what you require as object properties – Mukesh Soni Commented Jun 26, 2012 at 11:19
• Tried $(this).data(value)? See api.jquery./data and api.jquery./jQuery.data – Stefan Commented Jun 26, 2012 at 11:21

Just use a normal object which works as an associative array anyway:

var myObj = {};
$('#clickme').on('click' , function() {
    myObj["some_text"] = $(this);
});

This should work:

var myArr = new Array();
myArr["MyKey"] = { name: "myobject" };
