Reading json in a JS file

[bertly_the_coder]

Hi guys,

I'm having a little bit of a problem. I have a controller method that
renders json:
render :json => current_member.to_json

This method is called in a js file using a simple get call. In firebug
I see that the response from the get call is a json string, as I
wanted it to be:
Object { created_at="2012-04-10T08:09:09Z", id=2385, member_id=820,
more...}

How do I make sense of this in JS? So far I have this...and it doesn't
seem to be working:
response = $.get('/members/check_shared_from_fb');
in_json = $.parseJSON(response);
alert(in_json.to_sting);

The alert gives me null.

I hope I was clear. Thanks for all your help.

to_string might be better.

Hahaha! Colin, you are a funny guy, eh?

OK, That was a dumb mistake, this is what I get for mixing languages....for anyone interested, the returned data is in the callback...duh! So the response is in:

         

        $.getJSON('/members/check_shared_on_fb_or_twitter', function(response) {

                     //use response, the returned JSON here

         });

I don't understand what is funny. I pointed out what seemed to be an
obvious error in your code. It is easy to miss typographical errors
when looking at your own code.
