Can anyone please help with this? As far as "pure" JSON I don't want to be a heretic but I didn't even know the term before I started this project. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing anything else with this data. If the date coding makes a nice difference in performance that would be good as I have many items to load.
On the Then-By issue, I do think getting this to work in IE9 is a worthy cause since statistics still show it being one of the most popular browsers. Thanks in advance for any additional help. ---Boof.
