In the same logic as you i write for a one but in VBScript version, it work! see:
<%
dim avaiVar

set avaiVar = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

avaiVar.Add "test", "hello"
avaiVar.Add "name", "joe"

arr = avaiVar.Keys
for i = 0 to avaiVar.Count - 1
Response.Write arr( i )
next
%>
when i try to translate this code back to JavaScript...
it give me the undefined answer... i think the problem is come out in your line:

var arr = avaiVar.Keys();

since i try to output something in JavaScript, it work:

Response.Write( avaiVar("test" ) )

there should be a something problem of the ASP component and JavaScript array architecture...would you mind call it is a bug??

Yup, I have included the <% and %> tag, and the dictionary object is a default component in ASP.
Thanx for your help, Chad

elara,

Just because a component is included (default) with IIS/ASP doesn't mean your host supports it.

A couple of weeks ago I was going crazy trying to figure out why my CDONTS script wasn't working (CDONTS is also a component of IIS/ASP used for creating mail objects on the server). After a lot of frustation I sent an email to the hosting service (Powersurge.net) asking them if they didn't support CDONTS, guess what, they don't. The good news was they had ASPMail which is a little bit better anyways.

I would just double check with your host to see if they've disabled this component.

You have changed the default server scripting language to Javascript right? It's VBScript by default.

Later,
PJ

The coding looks good at first glance (minus the smiley faces ) Two things that I can see that may be a problem:

1) You do have this within the <% %> tags, correct?

2) Is the Scripting.Dictionary component installed on your providors server for use? I am not sure if this component comes with IIS and ASP or if it is a seperate one made by a third-party company.
