Accessing an array inside of a javascript object

Question

I am using an AJAX GET request to obtain a javascript object. Serverside, it is a hashmap that consists of a String and an ArrayList of Strings. Inside the success function, I am using a for-in loop to access the data that looks like this at the moment (console.log for debugging):

for (var key in content) {
    if (content.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        console.log(key);
    }           
 }

It displays the key correctly, but how can I access the array associated with it? If I output the response to the console, it shows "KEY: Array[13]", and I can expand it to see the contents of the array.

@BrianGerhards JSFiddle is a great tool, however this was simply me not knowing syntax. Two others were able to help me within minutes, so I do not think a JSFiddle is necessary. — jdune

Wow, I feel really dumb now. Even saw this in another question, just didn't think it was applicable to my situation. Thanks a bunch!

most conventional way

 for(var i=0 ; i< key.length ; i++ )
    console.log(key[i]);
