var result = new Array();

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    result[i] = function () { return i; };
}

return result;

If you are interested why that is happening, you should definitely have a look at this talk by Douglas Crockford: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya4UHuXNygM&list=PL7664379246A246CB

Your problem comes up at 1h:06m, but I would really recommend watching the rest of the video – maybe even the whole series of 8 videos!

@CrocoDillon: I’m not saying that your answer is not sufficient, but the question reminded me of seeing this talk which I found incredibly helpful and interesting ;)
