Question

I have a website that returns a JSON-like data structure like this:

{
    "name":"tom jones",
    "no": 123,
     "storedproc": function(){
                      callbuyer(0123);
                    }
}

I’m getting this data using $.ajax() with dataType “JSON”. Unfortunately, my $.ajax() calls the error callback because my data contains a function().
How can I parse this correctly? I really need to store the function in a variable and call it later.

Could you arrange to have the server return JSON like this:

{"name":"tom jones",
  "no": 123,
 "storeprocFn": callbuyer,
 "arg": "0123"};

Then your callback function can call the callbuyer function and pass arg
