javascript - How to solve the "TypeError: array.splice is not a function" when 'var array = {}'?

itemprop="text">

I
am using jQuery and I am handling a variable this
way:

var array =
            {};

array[an_object] = something
array[another_object] =
            something_else
array[...] =
            ...

When I try to run
the rel="noreferrer">splice method on the
array I get a TypeError: array.splice is not a
function. My intent is to remove the
an_object "key" and all its content from the
array
variable.

How can I make
that?

Note: When I run the
console.log(array[an_object]) (the same is valid for
another_object and all other objects) I
get:

[Object { label="str1",
            value=1 }, Object { label="str2", value=2 }, { label="strN", value=N
            }]

First of all, name your variables
what they are. The name array you're using, is misleading if
you use it to create a object.

var
            myObject = {};

myObject[an_object] =
            "xyz";
myObject[another_object] =
            "abc";

Now, you can
delete the entry in the object with the delete
statement:

delete
            myObject[an_object]; // Returns true / false if the deletion is a success /
            failure
console.log(myObject[an_object]) // Returns
            undefined

/>

Now, that said, this will not work like you'd
expect. myObject[an_object] will contain "abc"
Don't
use objects as keys. Use strings, instead.
This is because of the fact that
any parameter entered in the [] will be converted to string. So
actually, you're entering myObject["[object
Object]"]
