The problem is how you're sending information in the X-JSON header.
Prototype will try to automatically evaluate anything in the X-JSON
header assuming that it is a JSON string. You're X-JSON header is not a
JSON string but rather another call to eval() so the internal Prototype
String.evalJSON() function is probably your failure point.
Instead, either make "var json = transport.responseText.evalJSON(true)"
the first line of your callback function, or make sure that your X-JSON
header is *only* a JSON string.
Also, you should be aware that Prototype 1.5.1 added security features
to help avoid the execution of JSON with invalid code or malicious code
within it. As a result, JSON created and passed around by prototype has
/*-secure- before your JSON and */ after it. If you use the
String.evalJSON() function to parse your information, you might need to
explicitly add these strings before and after your JSON to evaluate it
properly.
