Jquery Ajax Json Response Has Length Undefined And Incorrect Data

I'm trying to grab a dictionary object which is converted to json object in server side, (along with correct content-type header), but for some reason, even though I can access par

Solution 1:

Objects don't have a length property unless you give them one. Arrays do, but arrays are created with [] not {}.

If you want to know how many properties an object has, you have to loop over them and count them:

var count = 0;
for (var foo in bar) {
    if (bar.hasOwnProperty(foo) {
        count++;
    }
}

Solution 2:

Best way to debug this is to inspect the response under Firebug console. See if you are even getting back a valid response.

Solution 3:

You can convert your object to JSON using :

var jsonVariable= JSON.stringify(objectVariable);
var jsonVariableLength = jsonVariable.length ;

And print the length :

alert('Length : ' + jsonVariableLength );
