There is either a problem with your markup or the way you are using / including Javascript. Did you try the snippet pasted by me in the above post? Did it work for you?

I'm sorry. I haven't had the chance to try anything today.
But as soon as I do, I'll post my findings.

Ok. Now I'm back from the holidays and could check my code. I found that I missed a quote-mark. Now there are no errors, but there still seem to be something odd happening.

In the screenshot, in the attached image, you can see two dynamically created forms marked form1 and form2.
After the calls to the functions objectify and JSON.stringify the alert show the information marked in a green rectangle.
That's not right considering that each form has a number of fields and should be created as an "array".

This is my complete javascript code for adding forms, objectify and such.
JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/json2.js"></script>
  2. <script type="text/javascript">
  3. var appInc = 0;
  4. var rowInc = 0;
  5. var On_Error = false;
  6.  
  7. function addRow(r){ 
  8. var root = r.parentNode;//the root 
  9. var allRows = root.getElementsByTagName('tr');//the rows' collection 
  10. var cRow = allRows[0].cloneNode(true)//the clone of the 1st row 
  11. var cInp = cRow.getElementsByTagName('asp:TextBox');//the inputs' collection of the 1st row 
  12. for(var i=0;i<cInp.length;i++) {//changes the inputs' names (indexes the names) 
  13. cInp[i].setAttribute('name',cInp[i].getAttribute('name')+'_'+(allRows.length+1)) 
  14. } 
  15. root.appendChild(cRow);//appends the cloned row as a new row 
  16. }
  17.  
  18. function addAppartement() {
  19. appInc++;
  20. var appTable = document.getElementById("appTable");
  21. var a = document.createElement('div');
  22. a.setAttribute("id", "a" + appInc);
  23. appTable.appendChild(a);

Do you see anything that I don't? (Please disregard the fact that I mix British and American english in my code)

Paste only the relevant and indented code. Sifting through 50+ lines of unindented code is more of a bother.

As far as your problem is concerned, I don't see any name attribute assigned to your form elements and the algorithm I posted uses element names.

Sorry about that. Won't happen again.

I'll try your solution by adding the name element.
But I was just thinking. If that's the reason why it won't work, then why does the code capture and hold the string in the last form element of each row and not the others?

Ok. So it works. I now get a correct json string.
Now I'll have to figure out how to Deserialize(?) it in server code-behind into a a use-able .NET object/class/structure.
Any suggestions?

Use any C# JSON binding library which converts from JSON objects to C# objects and vice versa. The bottom section of the JSON home page has a lot of bindings for the C# language. LitJSON is one of those libraries you can use.

I tried LitJSON only to find out that it's probably compiled using .NET 2.0. I'm working in 1.1.
In my latest attempt I used Jayrock.
And i've also been ripping my hair out trying to get the method JavaScriptDeserializerFromJson in AjaxPro to do my bidding.
No suck luck.

I'm trying to convert the json string into a .NET object in the form of a custom class.

The incoming Json string can contain an array, or not.
But either way I always get an exception thrown in my face.
With Jayrock the error is: "Cannot import System.<whatever> from a JSON Object value".
With AjaxPro there's not always an error but the object is not filled. However, when there is an error it's usually something along the lines of "invalid cast".

Here's two of my attempts:
Dim app As Appartements
'Dim app As String

Try
app = AjaxPro.JavaScriptDeserializer.DeserializeFromJson(jsonString, _
GetType(Appartements)) '//AjaxPro
'app = JsonConvert.Import(GetType(String), jsonString) '//Jayrock
...............

<Serializable()> _
Public Class Appartements
Public strAppNr As String = ""
Public strAppFloor As String = ""
Public strUnitPlace As String = ""
Public strConsID As String = ""
Public strUnitNr As String = ""
Public strUnitSet As String = ""
Public strFuse As String = ""
Public strCustomer As String = ""
Public strDOB As String = ""
End Class
Am I doing something wrong or am i totally incompetent?

You are probably asking this question in the wrong forum. This question has no longer remained a Javascript one since you have been successfully able to send the JSON encoded string to the server.

The way you decode the string on the server is purely dependent on your server side language of choice. Try asking this question in the C# or VB .NET forums of Daniweb.
