    <p>I am trying, and struggling, to send an array via JSON to a MVC controller action.</p> <p>Here is what I have and what i've tried...</p> <pre><code>//Get checked records var $checkedRecords = $(':checked'); //e.g. 3 rows selected = [input 4, input 5, input 6] //Have tried following: sendingVar: $checkedRecords.serializeArray(); // gives array of 0's sendingVar: JSON.stringify($checkedRecords); // gives "{\"length\":1,\"prevObject\":{\"0\":{\"jQuery1313717591466\":1,\"jQuery1313717591653\":13},\"context\":{\"jQuery1313717591466\":1,\"jQuery1313717591653\":13},\"length\":1},\"context\":{\"jQuery1313717591466\":1,\"jQuery1313717591653\":13},\"selector\":\":checked\",\"0\":{}}"...wtf //Post $.post(url, { sendingVar: sendingVar }, function(data) {alert(data); }); </code></pre> <p>How do I do it ?</p> <p>edit: to those that suggest sending <code>$checkedRecords</code> "as is" from the top line - that is not working. I get a strange exception somewhere in the jquery framework :(</p> <pre><code>uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: http://.../.../.../jquery-1.4.4.min.js :: &lt;TOP_LEVEL&gt; :: line 141" data: no] </code></pre> <p>which I think means it is attempting to assign null to something it cannot.</p> <p>Edit: i'm using MVC2 not 3</p> <p>Edit2: After @Monday's answer- <strong>the problem is due to how I have built the array like</strong> <code>[input 4, input 5, input 6]</code> and not <code>[4,5,6]</code> - any ideas how I can just get the values in the array instead ?</p> <p>Edit3: Stop voting up duplicate when it's not. Did you actually read my problem or read the problems linked? this is a different issue</p> <p>@Daveo:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/320291/how-to-post-an-array-of-complex-objects-with-json-jquery-to-asp-net-mvc-controll">I don't want to build in an overriding custom attribute just to send an array from JSON, that is rediculous</a> as we've already covered in this question-it is not necessary.</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4789481/post-an-array-of-objects-via-json-to-asp-net-mvc3">MVC3 - irrelevant</a></p>

    2. COWhat is your desired result? Your array is of jQuery objects, the stringify version looks right to me. What are you expecting it to look like?

    3. COit is just an array containing string ID's of the checked items. I want checkedRecords to contain an array of all ID's of items selected. The selected input's `value` contains the ID value I need.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
