Javascript: how to create a variant array of strings

Okay, I can answer my own questions. Actually the solution is given in the documentation for CreateVariantArray: 

function ConvertArray(Array)
{
  // Uses the Dictionary object to convert an array
  var objDict = getActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");
  objDict.RemoveAll();
  for (i in Array)
    objDict.Add(i, Array[i]);
  return objDict.Items();
}

function CreateVarArray()
{
  var jsArray = [];
  jsArray[0] = "value 1";
  jsArray[1] = "value 2";

  varArray = ConvertArray(jsArray);
}
