how are you building the json object?
i recommend
json_encode(utf8_encode($dataToEncode));
if youre using php5. if youre using php4, try this:
http://mike.teczno.com/JSON/JSON.phps
also, you might want to check out firebug for firefox. it will let you
easily analyze the interaction between the client and server.
also, to verify that the json object youre generating is infact ok;
run it through here:
