Javascript 'associative' array madness

It seems impossible to me to realize this array structure

[{ "Field1" : "Foo"}, {"Field2" : "Bar" }]

with following code

    var matching = new Array();

    $('tr[type="entity"]').each(function(){

        var $select = $(this).find('select');

        matching[$select.attr('id')] = $select.val();               
    });

This

alert(JSON.stringify(matching))

returns [ ] always. If it would be php my array would look like that

$matching = array(
    "Field1" => "Foo",
    "Field2" => "Bar"
);

I know there is no associative array in javascript. However how can I realize such an array based on my code.

Objects are associative arrays. Consider using var matching = new Object(); instead, and check to make sure the function is actually running (i.e. that the tr you expect actually exist).
