  1. POAssociative Array with keys from an Array of Strings in Javascript
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to form a word list in Javascript, whereby each word is a key in the dictionary and the value is true. My program takes a word and and checks whether the word is a valid word in the list or not. The list of words is stored in a text file where words are separated by new line. I scan these words as a string and split the string to obtain an array of strings which consist of all words. Now I am unable to form the associative array from this array. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>var dict={}; var words; function loadXMLDoc() { var xmlhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 &amp;&amp; xmlhttp.status==200) { words=xmlhttp.responseText.split("\n"); for ( var i = 0; i &lt; words.length; i++ ) { dict[words[i]] = true; //This Section of Code not working } } } xmlhttp.open("GET","twl06.txt",true); xmlhttp.send(); } function check(str) { if(dict[str]) alert("Correct"); else alert("Incorrect"); } </code></pre> <p>After doing a lot of tweaks with the code I have figured out that somehow the assosciative array is not being formed.</p> <p>Here is the link to my full html/JS code: <a href="https://pastebin.com/2jwMcBfA" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pastebin.com/2jwMcBfA</a></p>
