Oh, you're right, Erik, I wasn't paying close enough attention to the related thread. Jeff, skip the eval in the code I listed if it's coming from $.getJSON. :-) -Mike

I don't see a count property in your JSON data, and you didn't mention eval'ing the JSON string (it's just a string until you do something with it). Assuming that you have received a string from your server in a variable "json" containing the above JSON text: json = eval( '(' + json + ')' ); var models = json.models ; for( var i = 0, n = models.length; i < n; ++i ) { var model = models[i]; console.debug( model ); } You can even use $.each if you like: json = eval( '(' + json + ')' ); $.each( json.models, function( i, model ) { console.debug( model ); }); -Mike
