I''m trying to return JSON from a controller method with a certain type of nesting to satisfy the requirements of a javascript UI component: This is what I want the JSON to look like {"page":"1","total":2,"records":"13","rows":[{"id":"13","cell":["13","2007-10-06","Client 3","1000.00","0.00","1000.00",null]},{"id":"12","cell":["12","2007-10-06","Client 2","700.00","140.00","840.00",null]} Here is my code but id is showing up at the same level of page and total rather than being inside of rows (and at the same level as cell) render :json => {:page => page, :total => total_pages, :records => records, :rows => {:id => @account_activities.id, :cell => @account_activities} }.to_json Arshak -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
