  • Do you want to access its elements as just strings like '39.55,115.78' or the individual numbers like 39.55 and 115.78? Commented Mar 5, 2011 at 8:54

Reset to default

$.parseJSON($("#yourDiv").text())

However, JSON requires that you use double-quotes, whereas you are using single-quotes in your example. If you want to parse it anyway, you could replace them in your string:

$.parseJSON($("#yourDiv").text().replace(/'/g, "\""))

AFAIK parseJSON works with json string...is it json string written in question??
No, because it uses single-quotes instead of double-quotes. However, since the question is tagged "json" and includes "json" in the title I decided that this was probably the answer he would prefer. :)
Isn't your replace backwards?

Read this...

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.parseJSON/

It looks like you string is not a well formed jSON string.

EDIT: and this... http://www.json.org/example.html
