JS object to JSON ignores objects arrays?

[dprevite]

I have an object similar to this:

 Item.includes['left'] // An array of IDs of included items
 Item.includes['right'] // Same
 Item.price // Item price

Then I convert it using:

 Item.toJSONString() // From http://www.json.org/json.js

All I get back is:

 {"price":123,"includes":[]}

I don't get any of the values from the arrays inside of

Item.includes

, does anyone know how I can convert the object to JSON and get all of the arrays as well?

Item.includes['left'] // An array of IDs of included items
Item.includes['right'] // Same

Without seeing your entire code, I'd say this piece doesn't do what you think it does. You have an object "Item" which has a property "includes". "includes" is an object which has properties "left" and "right". "left" and "right" both contain arrays of ids. So that might look like this:

var Item = { 
 "includes" : { 
  "left" : [1,2,3], 
  "right" : [4,5,6] 
 }, 
 "price" : "$1.00" 
}; 

You get back this:

{"price":123,"includes":[]}

That indicates that "includes" contains an array, NOT another object like your syntax above suggests. If that's true, then your syntax of:
Item.includes['left']
and
Item.includes['right']
is incorrect (what index does the string 'left' and 'right' correspond to if this is an array?)

Ah, that seems to have been it.

I had Item.includes = Array() and I was adding things into an array. I changed it to Object(), and now it works fine.

Thank you
