Sorry, I got my wires crossed half-way through the first one of those. You can't use String#toJSON, it's not a string! Doh. Correcting my first example:
entry = encodeURIComponent(Object.toJSON($('busCalForm').serialize (true))); new Ajax.Request( "modules/buscal/processes/saveBooking.php", { parameters: { year: year, recnum: busmstr_id, json: entry }, onSuccess: busCal.gotEntry.bind(this), onFailure: busCal.gotFailure.bind(this) }); Sorry 'bout that. -- T.J. :-) On Jul 30, 8:55 pm, "T.J.
