Thanks. Unfortunately, that works the same as what I was trying with "var
jsonarray = transport.responseText.evalJSON(true);".
...I know the string passed back is:
> [{"VIDID":3359,"VIDPATHSTR":"/SS/vids/123","VIDDESCRIP":"test22"},{"VIDID":3358,"VIDPATHSTR":"/SS/vids/123","VIDDESCRIP":"some
> other descrip"}]

When I display the alert below, I receive the message:
[object Object]
>
When I try to access an element of that array, via alert(jsonarray[1])... I
return:
> undefined
>
new Ajax.Request(url,
{
method: 'post',
parameters: pars,
onComplete: function(transport) //get from JSON string
{
var jsonarray = transport.responseText.evalJSON(true);
alert(jsonarray);
var item = jsonarray[1];
alert(item);
}
}
);
