[jQuery] Re: forcing string literals

Hi all -

I have a JSON response with a parameter like

count: 0;

But if I try appending this value in a chained command, jQuery
interprets this as false and not a string literal.

eg
$("counts_col").append(json.count);

Is there a trick to making 0 a string literal and not a boolean
false?  eval()?

Thanks!

Stay away from eval ;-)

Here's the little trick, make it a string:

$("counts_col").append(json.count + '');
