The new jQuery just rolled out 1.3.2 and I see that your plugin is for jQuery 1.0. I was using it with jQuery 1.2.6 and it worked fine but after upgrading I am getting errors in IE. Anyone else getting these errors.

Thanks Daniel.
I will update the source and post include an unminified version tomorrow.
Cheers Mate.

The plugin doesn’t seem to handle dates with a negative value in the constructor. In our case, we had a datetime that was default constructed. In javascript, this has the value of Date(-62135578800000), but the regex didn’t pick up on it because of the negative sign, so it remained a string. We were then trying to perform date operations on string, and that’s when things blew up.

The problem lies in the regular expression that is being used which doesn’t take into account a negative sign. I added an optional negative sign in the regex:
a=/^\/Date$(-?[0-9]+)$\/$/.exec(value);
instead of:
a=/^\/Date$([0-9]+)$\/$/.exec(value);

Also, would it be possible to publish a non-minified version of your code? You have probably one of the best plugins that we’ve found and fixing any problems is much harder when you don’t have the human-readable version.

Great plugin…

I noticed that in the example you are able to send a date and get a date back from the web service. It seems to be that the date you get back, is not a javascript date object but a string representation of the date. Is it possible to get an actual date back- or is there an easy way to convert this string representation of a date to a javascript date object.

The date’s are incorrectly given to the Web Service as the web service is expecting them to be relative to UTC.
It was fixed by amending:
return ‘”\\/Date(‘ + (value.getTime()) + ‘)\\/”‘;
To:
return ‘”\\/Date(‘ + (Date.UTC(value.getFullYear(), value.getMonth(), value.getDate())) + ‘)\\/”‘;

It would also be nice if you provided a non-minified version of the source code.

Schotime,

Awesome for laying the groundwork in getting this resolved. I love the simplicity of exposing ASP.NET WebMethod’s and invoking them through the jQuery.ajax() functionality with the JSON dataType.

I thought utilizing the dataFilter functionality in the options for jQuery.ajax() proved to help solve the problem without writing a new plugin.

I still really like the incorporation of Crockford’s json.org/json.js for pre-parsing the JSON string prior to evaluation during the ajax() call – but is that too much?

I have a writeup for the simple dataFilter function declaration: http://www.overset.com/2008/07/18/simple-jquery-json-aspnet-webservice-datetime-support/

Thanks again for helping to resolve this issue! Great work!
