I am making a reference to the Javascript function splice() on an array and I get the error:

"Cannot make a static reference to the non-static function splice()"

What's going on - how is this a static reference, aren't I referencing an instance of an Array class and its method - how is that static?

$(document).ready( function() {

var queryPreds = new Array();
var queryObjs = new Array();    

function remFromQuery(predicate) {
    for(var i=0; i<arrayName.length;i++ ) { 
        if(queryPreds[i]==predicate)
        queryPreds.splice(i,1);
        queryObjs.splice(i,1);
        }
    }
}
