See Also Methods Properties

##### Description

> Object that stores data key, item pairs.

##### Syntax

> y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

##### Remarks

> A Dictionary object is the equivalent of a PERL associative array. Items can be any form of data, and are stored in the array. Each item is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item and is usually a integer or a string, but can be anything except an array.

> The following code illustrates how to create a Dictionary object:

> >     var y = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
> >     y.add ("a", "test");
> >     if (y.Exists("a"))
> >       document.write("true");
> >     ...
