How do I split two strings and make a key-value pair in javascript

var ma = "jim";     
var nu = "123";    
var splitit = ma.split("");    
var splitit2 = nu.split("");    
for (i=0; i<=splitit.length;i++) {
    var bach = {splitit[i]:splitit2[i]};
}
alert(bach);

You cannot use variables for property names in object literals, they always get interpreted literally. And you probably want only one bach object, instead of creating a new one each loop turn.

var bach = {};
for (i=0; i<=splitit.length;i++) {
    bach[splitit[i]] = splitit2[i];
}
alert(JSON.stringify(bach));

Use

var ma = "jim";     
var nu = "123";    
var splitit = ma.split("");    
var splitit2 = nu.split("");    
var bach = {};
for (i=0; i<=splitit.length;i++) {
    bach[splitit[i]] =splitit2[i];
}

You probably want

var bach = {}; // create the object
for (i=0; i<=splitit.length;i++) {
    bach[splitit[i]]=splitit2[i]; // set a property according to the arrays
}

instead of

for (i=0; i<=splitit.length;i++) {
    var bach = {splitit[i]:splitit2[i]};
}
