var temp = =3D new Array("test,"test2");

outputStr= ing =3D temp[0]

<= b>ERROR

or using a literal array

var temp =3D ["= test","test2"]

outputString=3Dtemp[0]
<= /blockquote>
ERROR

Instead I had to break it out into separate argume= nts like this. Why does it need that?

<= b>var temp =3D new Array()

temp[0] =3D "test";
temp[= 1] =3D "test2";

<= b>outputString =3D test[0]
