Thanks MorningZ. I just tried what you said and I got the alert for the responseText, which is basically the sample json data I gave in my listing. That json data looks good to me, but I cant understand why it failed though. Do you see any issues with that data? The json validator on www.jsonlint.com validated it fine.
