I'm not sure if this is the issue, but I noticed that you have line feeds inside your string values. The server-side JSON parser I use replaces all line breaks within a string value with control characters (in addition to escaping quotes).
val.Replace("\"", "\\\"").Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "\\\n") This may make a difference for you.

I think my generated json code is messed up, but for the life of me, I can't see it. In *some* cases, my $.ajax() call process the results properly, in others it triggers the Error callback, but doesn't actually have an error. I've asked about this before and the responses I got then aren't helping right now. Hopefully I'm just blind. I've posted the code in question below, as well as the resulting JSON, and a formatted version of the JSON as well. This JSON code works fine when I plug it into a Javascript variable manually. (Some sections of the $.ajax() call have been snipped for brevity - these snipped sections are not causing grief though) It might be that it's late and I've got tunnel vision, but I can't see why this isn't working. Any tips are appreciated. Shawn Here's the $.ajax() call: ------------------------- $("#filtertable #filter").click(function () { var p = "&oid=" + $("#client_id").val(); //other code snipped for building up the parameter string $.ajax({ type: "post", url: "xhr/filter.php?r=" + Math.random(), data: p, dataType: "json", success: function (json) { //code to build a table goes here // $("#filterResults").html(myTable); }, error: function (a,b,c) { $("#filterResults").text(a.responseText); //$("#msg").html(a.responseText).slideDown("slow"); } }); return false; }); Here's a sample of the JSON results that are not working: ----------------------------------------------------------- ([ { id: "124", organization: "XYZ Corp", start: new Date("2007-09-30 13:30:00"), end: new Date("2007-09-30 19:00:00"), duration: 5.5, worktype: "Programming", project: "Projext X", description: "Scans.
