For..In loops in JavaScript - key value pairs

Question

I was wondering if there's a way to do something like a PHP foreach loop in JavaScript. The functionality I'm looking for is something like this PHP Snippet:

foreach($data as $key => $value) { } 

I was looking at the JS for..in loop, but there seems to be no way to specify the as. If I do this with a 'normal' for loop (for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++), is there a way to grab the key => value pairs?

for (var k in target){     if (target.hasOwnProperty(k)) {          alert("Key is " + k + ", value is " + target[k]);     } } 

hasOwnProperty is used to check if your target really has that property, rather than having inherited it from its prototype. A bit simpler would be:

for (var k in target){     if (typeof target[k] !== 'function') {          alert("Key is " + k + ", value is" + target[k]);     } } 

It just checks that k is not a method (as if target is array you'll get a lot of methods alerted, e.g. indexOf, push, pop,etc.)
