- by Holicreature
I use the ajax which sends back a string..
I want to convert the responsetext into a json object to process.
I tried eval and also , but doesn't works...
Wht to do?
My code is 
function handleResponse() {
  if(httpa.readyState == 4){
  var response = httpa.responseText;
    if(response!='empty')
    {
      alert(response);  
      var foo = eval('(' +strJSON+ ')');
      alert (foo);
    }
}
}
// response alerts
