jQuery autocomplete with an integer array

Question

I'm creating an integer array like that

    my_array = new array(60);
    for(var i=0;i<6;i++){
        for(var j=0;j<10;j++){
            my_array[(i*10)+j] = (i.toString())+"."+(j.toString());
        }
    }

this should result in an array with

my_array[0] = 0.0

...

my_array[59] = 5.9

Now I want to use that list for an autocomplete

$( "#my_id" ).autocomplete({
   source: my_array
});

It does not work, though. Any ideas why?

you should write my_array = []; instead of my_array = new array(60); — István

@Rorschach: I'm getting array is not defined error... I'm such a fool. Just noticed that it should be new Array(100) instead of new array(100). Thus writing Array with the big A. — Hansi Zimmrer

this is working code tested on Fiddle:

var my_array = [];
    for(var i=0;i<6;i++){
        for(var j=0;j<10;j++){
            my_array[(i*10)+j] = (i.toString())+"."+(j.toString());
        }
    }

$(document).ready(function(){

 $( "#my_id" ).autocomplete({
   source: my_array
});

});
