Hi

I am trying to populate the chart with data using JSON string but get the 
following error:

 Invalid JSON string:  

{
cols:[{id:'A', label:'Fruit', type:'string'},{id:'B', label:'Year', 
type:'date'},{id:'C', label:'Systolic', type:'number'},{id:'D', 
label:'Diastolic', type:'number'},],
rows:[{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1901,0, 1)}, {v:160}, {v: 
100}]},{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1902,0, 1)}, {v:180}, {v: 
120}]},{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1903,0, 1)}, {v:100}, {v: 80}]},]
}

My function: 

function drawChart(data) {       
            var dataTbl = new google.visualization.DataTable(data);
            var motionchart = new 
google.visualization.MotionChart(document.getElementById('chart'));
            motionchart.draw(dataTbl, { 'width': 800, 'height': 400 });
        }

where data is: 
{
cols:[{id:'A', label:'Fruit', type:'string'},{id:'B', label:'Year', 
type:'date'},{id:'C', label:'Systolic', type:'number'},{id:'D', 
label:'Diastolic', type:'number'},],
rows:[{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1901,0, 1)}, {v:160}, {v: 
100}]},{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1902,0, 1)}, {v:180}, {v: 
120}]},{c:[{v:'Patients'}, {v:new Date (1903,0, 1)}, {v:100}, {v: 80}]},]
}

I tested this on www.jsonlint.org and its not valid. But when I change it 
to valid JSON by using double quotes: 

          {"cols": [{"id": "A", "label": "NEW A", "type": "string"},       
{"id": "B", "label": "B-label", "type": "number"},       {"id": "C", 
"label": "C-label", "type": "date"}      ],"rows": [{"c":[{"v": "a"}, {"v": 
1.0, "f": "One"}, {"v": "new Date(2008, 1, 28, 0, 31, 26)", "f": "2/28/08 
12:31 AM"}]},       {"c":[{"v": "b"}, {"v": 2.0, "f": "Two"}, {"v": "new 
Date(2008, 2, 30, 0, 31, 26)", "f": "3/30/08 12:31 AM"}]},       
{"c":[{"v": "c"}, {"v": 3.0, "f": "Three"}, {"v": "new Date(2008, 3, 30, 0, 
31, 26)", "f": "4/30/08 12:31 AM"}]}     ]} 

I get the message: "All data columns must be string or numbers".  What is 
the correct JSON to use?
