Looking at format JSON.js file, it's classic example of where OL fails silently
the code first runs a regex to validate the JSON, which returns null if it doesn't validate and then if it passes the initial validate and then crashes, it's also wrapped in a try catch which simples ignores any errors what is the normal convention to report / throw errors in OL? Failing silently is nasty Also now that IE, FF and a few others have native JSON support, how does everyone feel about conditionally using the native JSON when it's available z On 14 June 2010 22:43, Zac Spitzer <zac.spit...@gmail.com> wrote: > yup, i was using coldfusion's built in javascript escaping format, > jsstringformat > > i have found an appropriate function for json encoding option on cflib.org > > thanks for you help > > On 14 June 2010 17:42, Moataz Elmasry <zaza185198...@googlemail.com> wrote: >> I just tried your string with an online parser: >> http://json.parser.online.fr/ and eval() returned an error. >> You don't need to escape the single quote character since its inside a >> double quote, so just remove the slash \ and it should work >> >> >> Eric Lemoine wrote: >>> On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 2:34 AM, Zac Spitzer <zac.spit...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi Eric, >>>> >>>> thanks for trying that. >>>> >>>> I have created a cut down test case which demonstrates the problem >>>> >>>> http://mapguide-central.ennoble.com.au/testcase/geo_json_escaping/testcase.html >>>> >>>> there are two vector layers, one which is escaped and one which isn't >>>> >>>> the escaped one is on by default and doesn't render >>>> >>> >>> Ok. >>> >>> But why are you escaping quotes?
