var dayStr = new Array();
dayStr[0] = "Sun.";
dayStr[1] = "Mon.";
dayStr[2] = "Tue.";
dayStr[3] = "Wed.";
dayStr[4] = "Thu.";
dayStr[5] = "Fri.";
dayStr[6] = "Sat.";

// Create an array big enough to hold the elements.
var monthStr = new Array("Jan.", "Feb.", "Mar.", "Apr.", "May", "June",
"July", "Aug.", "Sep.", "Oct.", "Nov.", "Dec.");

// Create an empty array of a specific size
var coffee = new Array(7);
</script>

Usage

<script language=JavaScript1.1>
with (document) { //assume docuement object
    write("Days of the week:<br>");
    for (var i = 0; i < dayStr.length; i++) {
      write(i + ". " + dayStr[i]; + "<br>");
    }
}
</script>

Creation

<script language=JavaScript>
// Creates an array object similar to the array object in later JavaScripts.
// Note: this array is one based instead of zero based.
function createArray(size) {
    this.length = size; // length is in element 0
    for (var i = 1; i <= size; i++) {
      this[i] = null
    }
    return this;
}

dayStr[1] = "Sun.";
dayStr[2] = "Mon.";
dayStr[3] = "Tue.";
dayStr[4] = "Wed.";
dayStr[5] = "Thu.";
dayStr[6] = "Fri.";
dayStr[7] = "Sat.";
</script>
