Is what you posted the actual JSON you're using? It has line breaks in the middle of the string, which can't be correct - but would probably trigger a different error.
If the line breaks are removed, it's valid JSON which you can test at: http://www.jsonlint.com/ It would be hard for anyone to help you with just the information given here. Can you post a link to a test page? -Mike > From: twitchy > > Why does this JSON generate the error "missing } after property list" > in Firebug? > What's missing? > > {"newitem": "<div id='iid_27' class='round-block'> <div class='left'> > Test Title 10 </div> <div class='right'> <ul><li>Test Caption > 10</li></ > ul><div class='drag-handle'>drag to reorder</div> </div> </div> "} > > Guessing the error lies outside this code block but not sure how to > track down the problem. >
