There is no associative array in javascript, it's a just an object with properties.

If you would like to iterate this object you can use a for...in loop:

for (var key in result) 
{
  console.log(result[key]);
  $("#error_div").append(result[key]);
}

You can also use a for...of loop with Object.values() to get the value directly:

for (let value of Object.values(result)) 
{
  console.log(value);
  $("#error_div").append(value);
}

Javascript has no associative arrays. You could loop over the object, but since you are using jQuery anyway you could use each(). If performance matters, use a for loop tho.

var values = {
    'FirstName': 'Please enter your first name ',
    'LastName': 'Please enter last name ',
    'Email': 'This e-mail address is already associated to another account. ',
    'ConfirmPassword' : 'Passwords do not match '
};

var errors = $('#error_div');
$.each(values, function( index, value ) {
  errors.append(value);
  errors.append('<br>');
});
