Juan C; you are the Man! I used eval() and it works perfectly now. Thank you ever so much. DeeJay.

Hi, I am getting some data from excel worksheet; converting to json; then saving it as a hiddenfield value. On client side, I am getting the value of the hiddenfield and passing to jchartfx. I seem to have an error everytime I do this. If I take the data out of the hiddenfield and write it out as a string in the jquery code, it works just fine. var PriceData = $('#hidPriceChart').val(); // does not work // the following works if I take the value from hidPRiceChart and set it manually. var PriceData = [{ "Commodity": "CPO MDEX FUTURES", "MKT_Price": 1009.3500780459954 }, { "Commodity": "CPO MAL Physicals", "MKT_Price": 975.99999999999989 }, { "Commodity": "ROL MAL Physicals", "MKT_Price": 1008.7500000000001 }, { "Commodity": "SB CBOT Call", "MKT_Price": 24.020566370720026 }, { "Commodity": "SBM CBOT FUTURES", "MKT_Price": 526.8994283471892 }, { "Commodity": "SBO CBOT FUTURES", "MKT_Price": 1177.092511013223 }, { "Commodity": "CRUDE NYMEX Put", "MKT_Price": 45.37689167750014 }, { "Commodity": "HO NYMEX FUTURES", "MKT_Price": 860.37383177569916 }, { "Commodity": "GO ICE FUTURES", "MKT_Price": 874 }]; chart1.setDataSource(PriceData); // it fails at this line. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? TestChartFXLayoutError.zip
