Accessing and updating an object variable,or associative array

Question

This is my script, which I manged to put together using code on this link : Setting up a variable length two-dimensional array

stringWithSeper = "Panther^Pink,Green,Yellow|Dog^Hot,Top";
var blocks = stringWithSeper.split("|");
for (var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++) {
    temp = blocks[i].split("^");
    result[temp[0]] = temp[1].split(",");
}

I'm confused. What's the structure of "result" ? Is it

result = {"Panther":{"Pink","Green","Yellow"}, "Dog":{"Hot","Top"}}

If not, what is it? I've been breaking my head over this for the past 3 days.

Here is your answer: alert(JSON.stringify(result))

Result: {"Panther":["Pink","Green","Yellow"],"Dog":["Hot","Top"]}

1)ok,how do I access the string "pink" within "panther" ? 2) How do I add "red" to the object so that it is {"Panther":["Pink","Green","Yellow","Red"],"Dog":["Hot","Top"]} using a function ?

1) result["Panther"][0] or result.Panther[0] . 2) result["Panther"].push("Red") . Basically each result["something"] is an array of strings. Therefore you can use this reference on how to use arrays: developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/…
