[buntyindia]

//Outputs:

I am making a application in which I have to send a request using Ajax to ther server and the server return response in JSON .

I just wanna know i am getting the following response from the server:

{"length":50,
"accounting":[
{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","age":23},
{"firstName":"Mary","lastName":"Smith","age":32}],
"sales":[
{"firstName":"Sally","lastName":"Green","age":27},
{"firstName":"Jim","lastName":"Galley","age":41}
]}

In JavaScript how i accesss it. Means when I am tring to access it it is saying undefined

if (xmlHttp.readyState==4)
{
var JSONResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;
alert (JSONResponse)
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=JSONResponse.length;
}
 

alert is printing

{"length":50,
"accounting":[
{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","age":23},
{"firstName":"Mary","lastName":"Smith","age":32}],
"sales":[
{"firstName":"Sally","lastName":"Green","age":27},

hi ...

change the line:

var JSONResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;
 

to:

var JSONResponse = eval(xmlHttp.responseText);

kind regards

hi ...

change the line:

var JSONResponse = xmlHttp.responseText;
 

to:

var JSONResponse = eval(xmlHttp.responseText);

kind regards

Now it is showing error expected ';' at

 var JSONResponse = eval(xmlHttp.responseText);

so you have to show what you have done besides that, because when you test the following:

var test = eval({"length":50,
"accounting":[
{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","age":23},
{"firstName":"Mary","lastName":"Smith","age":32}],
"sales":[
{"firstName":"Sally","lastName":"Green","age":27},
{"firstName":"Jim","lastName":"Galley","age":41}
]});
 
alert(test.length);

it alerts 50 as expected.
