Sending an array through form in hidden input

I am trying to send an array from an html page to an asp proxy (to a service), but cannot get the array to work properly.

Array Type: json

Scripting: JavaScript/jquery

var order = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
if (list[i].included == true)
order.push({ MarketID: list[i].marketID, Crop: list[i].crop })
}

$("#orderValue").val(order.join());
...

<form action="/hd.asp" method="post" id="hdForm">
<input type="hidden" name="order" id="orderValue" />
...
</form>

Removing the array, it works properly, but the array is required property. I have tried just sending array, using .join(), and few other things, but nothing seems to be working.

[EDIT] c.hill got there first :$ [/EDIT]

Don't use join(), use JSON.stringify(), e.g.:

var doit = function( myArray ) {
    var arrayString = JSON.stringify( myArray );
    $('#orderValue').val( arrayString );
    // rest of code
}

Try this:

$("#orderValue").val(JSON.stringify(order));

Edit.. Oops, should have put order inside of JSON.stringify() as an argument. Try it now.
