I have an array:

myarr = [];

I'm filling it with some values:

myarray['name'] = "Me!";

Now I want to transform that array into a set of Key => Value pairs. I though jQuery would do it automatically, but it doesn't seem to.

$.ajax
({
    type: "POST",
    dataType: "text",
    url: "myurl",
    data: myarr
});

Is there a way to do this or something I'm doing wrong? I get no javascript errors, and no serverside errors other then no POST information at all.

I need the request to be sent as a true POST request. I need to keep the php code simple because sometimes the login won't be an AJAX call.

I'm now trying the following with an error unexepected token ':'

myarr:
{
    'name':'me'
}

The question has now become: How do I initialize a new javascript object as "blank", how do I set up mappings, and how do I pass it in an AJAX call?
