Hello!

The problem I have is the JSON data I'm pushing out to the DataSource validates fine using JSLint, but is getting an error in the script.

I do have a repro to link to. It'll take a couple steps to get to it.

http://test.tycoonrats.com/lib/js/business.js (the js script is there, the page that uses it is below, I've made a demo account)

http://test.tycoonrats.com/login.php
User Name: demodemo
Password: demodemo

Once logged in, click this next link:
http://test.tycoonrats.com/index.php?p=business_list (or click [Business List] on the left hand vertical menu)
Click the "View the super panel" link on the next page. It will initiate an ajax request to a page that sends out some data used to initialize a DataTable and a DataSource.

I've checked the JS code using JS Lint and I've gotten it to validate using all of the recommended settings except for "Disallow leading _ in identifiers" and using "YAHOO,document" as predefined variables.
I've also checked the JSON response using JS Lint and it validates as a JSON object.


The first time I copied the ajax response text containing the JSON object out of FireBug and attempted to validate it, it failed due to two line breaks. When I loaded up the ajax page through a normal request and viewed the source, and copied that instead, it validated no problem.


That's the only clue I have found as to what is causing the JSON to fail, but since the output provided by this page (requires the demo account login to access...) [http://test.tycoonrats.com/index.php?a=business_list&case=data_source&sort=id&dir=asc&startIndex=0&results=25] validates just fine.


Please help! Thank you! I rarely get stumped on something, but this one beats me.


Oh, and I put in the -debug YUI includes and there is a Logger on the screen.
Cheers!

Thanks for your reply Satyam. Your article on the DataTable has been a tremendous help.

I should have been more specific on the validation I performed on the JSON object. I did use http://www.jsonlint.com/ to validate the JSON object sent from the server and I used http://www.jslint.com/ to validate the javascript script. Both passed their respective validations.

I would remove the YUI JSON module, except that the script makes extensive use of it elsewhere.

Thanks again, and any further suggestions from ya'll are greatly appreciated!

Thanks again Satyam!

That gives me confidence my code is not in error, which in turn means I can really dig into that JSON object, like you're saying, and find out what part isn't working out. I'll definitely look into that very soon.

Thanks again for looking at that looooooooong bit of code and verifying with me that the JSON I was using was fine.
