array.push in Javascript not working

Question

var conversations = new Array();
jQuery('.CChatWindow').each(function(){
    if (jQuery(this).is(":visible") && jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid") != 0) {
        alert(jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid")); // returns 1 and 2
        conversations.push = (jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid"));
    }
});
alert(conversations); // returns an empty string

Whats the problem with my code? array.push does not seem to work. Thanks!

why are you trying to overwrite conversations.push ?!

Change

conversations.push = (jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid"));

To

conversations.push( jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid") );

Array.push() is a function call and not an assignment.

array.push is a function. Use it like:

conversations.push(jQuery(this).attr("data-conversationid"));
