Karl,
I think you mean "other than alpha or underscore" (just to
nit/completeness ;) ) Always safer to go with fully quoted, though I
tend to avoid it myself unless necessary.
var foo = { "1bar" : "is valid", 2bar:"is not", _iam:"valid too",
"this-is":"valid also" }
of course, we should mention accessing them too:
foo["1bar"], foo["this-is"] and foo._iam
Regards,
Peter Higgins
