Hi Patrick
var json=$.params2json(myFormParams.vars);
will return a hash (object). To convert a hash into a string, you will need
something like json.js.
document.getElementById('json').innerHTML=json.toJSONString();
should give you what you expect.
However, if you merely want to submit the json to the server, you can do so
without converting it to a string.
Like so:
$.post(url,json,callback);
I don't know about the error in toJSONString. I am using a very old version
of json.js which has a JSON.stringify(json) method, and that seems to work
without trouble. Let me know if you need it, and I'll forward it to you. But
like said before, unless you really need to read the JSON, you dont need to
stringify it to submit the JSON.
Hope this helps
Regards
Ashutosh

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I am not, however, able to get
this to work as I would expect.
Using the JQuery.js lib I'm able to do the following:
var myFormParams = $('#myForm').serialize();
If I then do the following I see "5", which is correct:
document.getElementById('json').innerHTML=myFormParams.vars.length;
But when I call the following I just see "[object Object]":
document.getElementById('json').innerHTML=$.params2json(myFormParams.vars
);
If I call the following (from the json.js script at JSON.org) I get
"[{"name":"textbox1","value":"ddeast"},{"name":"textbox2","value":"west"},{"name":"drop_mode","value":"2"},{"name":"east_checkboxes","value":"delay_ena"},{"name":"","value":"Set
UI"}]":
document.getElementById('json').innerHTML=myFormParams.vars.toJSONString
();
So this is what I'm after in the end, but I'd rather use JQuery entirely,
so I was hoping you might tell me how to use your function properly. The
toJSONString method also has an issue that Firebug flags (though it allows
the function to run):
Too much recursion
a.push(k.toJSONString(), ':', s);
This happens on Line 165 of the 2007-03-20 build.
Thanks,
Patrick
