Adding key/value into array where value is a object

Question

I want to add some text as a key and Object as a value.

Example

$('#clickme').on('click' , function() {
    push to array => "some_text" as (value) and $(this) as key
})

thank you for the reply, what would be the best approach for this? — user1184100

Tried $(this).data(value)? See api.jquery.com/data and api.jquery.com/jQuery.data — Stefan

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

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

sorry to be dumb... but how can i get back the text associated with the object.

var value = myObj["some_text"];

This should work:

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