hi all,

thank you in advance.

Do you mean define an array?
var MyArray=new Array();

The above creates an Array object but often is easier to employ what is called a "array literal".

myArray = ['fee', 'fie', 'foe', 'fum'];

The above statement is not correct.

defining/declaring an array completely depends on what exactly is your requirement.
If the need for an array is to put values in dynamically then how will this be easier????

So in reality,nothing is better then the other,they are both different approaches to define/declare an array object.

Often the Array object method is better and often the array literal method is better. Strictly speaking though, the array literal method always requires fewer key strokes and is, hence, always easier.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
myArray = [];
myArray[0] = 'foo';
alert (myArray);
// -->
</script>
