/* Problem description- I am using json stringify method to convert an javascript array to string in json notation.However I get an error message that 'Object property or method not supported' at line hidden.value = JSON.stringify(jsonObj); This should work as stringify is supported in IE8.Please advise

Full code below  */

Use the F12 Developer Tools to check the browser mode. The JSON object exists, but has no methods in IE7 mode. Use the json2 library as a fallback.
