How to remove an element from a javascript array

I have an array as below

var array = [];

var item1 = 'k1';
var itemvalue1 = {'key1':'value1'};
array[item1] = itemvalue1;

var item2 = 'k2';
var itemvalue2 = {'key2':'value2'};
array[item2] = itemvalue2;

Two questions...

  1. How to get the position(index) of the item2 in the array
  2. How to remove the item item2 from the array

Any help is appreciated.

How to get the position(index) of the item2 in the array

It doesn't have one.

You assigned the value to a property called k2. That isn't a numeric index, so it doesn't have a position.

You almost certainly should be using a plain object ({}) and not an array in the first place.

How to remove the item item2 from the array

delete array.k2

(as per this question).
