Return JavaScript object keys that share the same value without knowing key name?

Say I have a simple JavaScript object:

 {"omar":"espn.com","omar1":"espn1.com","omar3":"espn.com"}

How do I return all keys that share "espn.com" without knowing the name of the keys?

In this case, only "omar" and "omar3" should be returned.

Just enumerate the properties with Object.keys and Array#filter the ones you want.

Working Example:

var o = {"omar":"espn.com","omar1":"espn1.com","omar3":"espn.com"};

var matched = Object.keys(o).filter(function(key) {
    return o[key] === 'espn.com';
});

console.log(matched);
