Ah. Well, I'm of the opinion that it would be better to skip that piece of advice. Stick with common usage of the JSON spec. I'm curious about quantifying the performance improvement of using that trick. Does it justify making not-quite JSON unusable elsewhere? > Q2) I still don't get this.

There's always been a measure of problems with IE, I expect it's probably an HTML class attribute naming problem, though I don't have IE9 in front of me to look at the moment. > On Aug 26, 4:19 pm, Ryan Lee <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On 8/19/11 6:41 AM, Boof wrote: >> >>> 1) I'm successfully using this date in my JSON file: >> >>> beginDate: "1840-1-1", >> >>> but want to use this because I understand loading time is faster: >> >>> beginDate: new Date(1840,0,1), >> >> Where did you pick that tip up?
