Javascript JSON.stringify object containing arrays serialization problem

Question

I javascript I have an object that looks similar to:

var myObj = 
{
   prop1: 1,
   prop2: 2,
   prop3: ["a","b","c","d","e"],
   prop4: 4,
   prop5: ["f","g","h","i"]
}

It's an object containing a number of properties. Each property may or may not be an array.

  var serializedMyObj = JSON.stringify(myObj);

serializedMyObj is (found by viewing the results of the serialize function in firebug):

"{ "prop1":1, "prop2":2, "prop3":["a","b","c","d", "e"], "prop4":4, "prop5":["f","g","h","i"] }"

if I alert(serializedMyobj); it shows me:

{ "prop1":1, "prop2":2, "prop3":[], "prop4":4, "prop5":[] }

The real problem is when i pass this data into an Asp.Net PageMethod the server gets the same data I see when it's shown in the alert dialog, not in firebug. Somewhere it's losing the array values and only putting in [].

Does anyone know why this would happen or a way to fix it? It's probably something simple I'm overlooking.

Answer 1

I get the following (correct) output on firefox:

{"prop1":1,"prop2":2,"prop3":["a","b","c","d","e"],"prop4":4,"prop5":["f","g","h","i"]}

What browser are you using?

Also, I noticed that myObj was lowercase in JSON.stringify(myobj); - I assume that was just a typo?
