[Javascript] How do I build a simple array

[Lee Underwood]

You can do that using the shift() method. Think of it as taking the 
first element and "shifting" it to the left, out of the array. You 
can do it using the following format.

var chevCar = new Array("Nova","Impala","Corvette");
alert("The original lineup is " + chevCar);

chevCar.shift();

alert("The new lineup is " + chevCar);

The first part of the script works just like the previous above. 
However, after displaying all of the elements, it removes the first 
one and displays an alert window with the remaining two elements.
