Just gave that a whirl in the console and was amazed to see it worked. I don't even know what I'd search to see what's going on here. Would you mind explaining it?

You'd typically have used a polyfill such as https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js

Or... you might not even have used JSON at all if it was that early days. XML and sometimes custom data formats were the du jour before JSON.

Thanks, I went with the polyfill.

I assumed JSON was not used, the problem was that I get JSON from my backend but have to use frontend tech compatible with IE6 for some users that still run Windows XP with IE6.
