Answer 1

I ran your code in Firefox, Chrome and IE8 with no trouble. What browser are you using? I would guess the real problem is in how the JSON is being eval'ed.

Answer 2

That is not JSON, that is just literal Javascript objects. JSON is a text format based on Javascript syntax.

There is nothing wrong with the Javascript code. You could also copy the literal objects from the code and paste together into a JSON string, and it would work.

Are you converting the objects to JSON later on? In that case there is something wrong with that code.
