I have a javascript object that contains addresses as follows 

var addressList = [
    {"AddressID":"10011","AddressType":"Delivery","AddressLine1":"4 Caerleon Drive","AddressLine2":"Bittern","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 5LF","Country":"United Kingdom","ContactID":"10011"},
    {"AddressID":"10012","AddressType":"Home","AddressLine1":"526 Butts Road","AddressLine2":"Sholing","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 1DJ","Country":"England","ContactID":"10011"}
]

I want to add another "address" to it so i have somthing like the following

[
{"AddressID":"10011","AddressType":"Delivery","AddressLine1":"4 Caerleon Drive","AddressLine2":"Bittern","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 5LF","Country":"United Kingdom","ContactID":"10011"},
{"AddressID":"10012","AddressType":"Home","AddressLine1":"526 Butts Road","AddressLine2":"Sholing","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 1DJ","Country":"England","ContactID":"10011"},
{"AddressID":"10013","AddressType":"Home","AddressLine1":"5436 Bfds Road","AddressLine2":"Sherly","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 1DJ","Country":"England","ContactID":"10011"}
]

i cant figure out how to do this ?

I assume this isn't your actual code, as it is invalid JavaScript. –  Jason McCreary Sep 19 '12 at 16:47
    
Your first JavaScript does not work. –  clentfort Sep 19 '12 at 16:47
    
Javascript or JSon –  Bhavik Jul 14 '13 at 19:46

Use Array#push to add a new object to the array:

addressList.push({"AddressID":"10013","AddressType":"Home","AddressLine1":"5436 Bfds Road","AddressLine2":"Sherly","AddressLine3":"","CityTown":"Southampton","County":"Hampshire","PostCode":"SO19 1DJ","Country":"England","ContactID":"10011"});

will that push associative arrays/objects ? –  user1662233 Sep 19 '12 at 16:56
    
@user1662233: Yes, it will. –  João Silva Sep 19 '12 at 16:57
    
This will only work if addressList is an array. In his example, it's an object. He needs to create an array first and then push objects to it. –  saml Sep 19 '12 at 18:07
    
@saml: But it's an array var addressList = [...]. –  João Silva Sep 19 '12 at 18:09
    
my bad, he changed the question and I didn't see the update. –  saml Sep 19 '12 at 18:10

addressList.push({AddressID: 1234, Country: 'Foo', ...});

It's not clear to me what you're encountering, but the probable problem you're running into is that the first snippet you give is a javascript Object, and the second snippet is an Array. You'd need to so something like:

var addressList = [];
addressList.push({"AddressID":"10011",...});

You could then iterate over the list using a forEach:

addressList.forEach(function(address) {
    alert(address.AddressID);
    doSomethingWithAddress(address);
});

You can read more about Arrays on the MDN
