javascript - JSON Object returned from a second page does not stringify in IE 8 -

consider next scenario:

foopage page which, on clicking "add", opens barpage.

barpage has "return" button. upon clicking on it, following:

function add() { var selectedresources = [{ "resourceid": "10", "resourcename": "foo", "resourcetypename": "bar" }]; if (window.opener != null && typeof window.opener.addresources != "undefined") { window.opener.addresources(selectedresources); window.close(); } }

foopage, may see, has function called addresources. following:

function addresourcescallback(selectedresources) { var result = json.stringify(selectedresources); }

in chrome, works great - string created json in json.stringify , happy.

in ie8, however, not work. json not created string - instead, json.stringify returns undefined.

i tried changing scenario this, test:

function addresourcescallback(selectedresources) { var selectedresources = [{ "resourceid": "10", "resourcename": "foo", "resourcetypename": "bar" }]; var result = json.stringify(selectedresources); }

in scenario, json.stringify in ie8 returns right value, chrome. meaning, in ie8, when passing array page page, can't parse array json.

is there way pass array without stringifying first?

seems cross-window scope problem - 2 objects have different object.prototype prototype objects might confuse ie (especially if 1 of them garbage collected due window closing). seek stringifying other window's json function this:

// barpage if (window.opener != null && typeof window.opener.addresources != "undefined") { window.opener.addresources(selectedresources, json); window.close(); } // foopage function addresourcescallback(selectedresources, json) { var result = json.stringify(selectedresources)); }

however, think stringifying in 1 window, passing string , parsing in other window safest approach.
