Javascript JSON.stringify object containing arrays serialization problem

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.

Solution

  • 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?
