forming a 2D array in jquery

I'm trying to create a 2D array consisting of the URL and text in an "a href" element.

I think I got it working, but I am not sure if this is the correct structure for a 2D array. From the output in the console, it looks like a 1D array.

I need it to be like this [link URL, linkText]

example: [http://www.yahoo.com, Yahoo!]

Could someone please take a look and see if this is actually a 2D array?

Thanks

Here is my jsfiddle:

http://jsfiddle.net/kxkHZ/13/

var linkArray = [];
$('[class=hrefURL]').each(function (i) {
    var text = ($(this).text());
    var url = ($(this).attr('href'));
    linkArray.push(url, text);
});

for (var i = 0; i < linkArray.length; i++) {
   console.log(linkArray[i]);
}

Every item you push its at the same level. Try this:

var linkArray = [];
$('[class=hrefURL]').each(function (i) {
    var text = ($(this).text());
    var url = ($(this).attr('href'));
    linkArray.push([url, text]);
});

for (var i = 0; i < linkArray.length; i++) {
   console.log(linkArray[i]);
}

Change

linkArray.push(url, text);

to

linkArray.push([url, text]);

or use objects instead of arrays as the inner element for something a bit more structured:

linkArray.push({url: url, text: text});
