JSON.stringify and JSON.parse wont work in IE9

Hi Guys I hope you can help as this is driving me up the wall !!

I am running local Vb.net web site and calling a javascript function to try to post JSON data to a php website on a web based server. My browser is IE9 and im using visual studio 2010

I started off trying to call JSON.stringify or JSON.parse and neither would work. I added into my .aspx page the line <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.json.org/json2.js"></script> and it still didnt work I downloaded a json file and referenced it locally from JSON.ORG and it still doesnt work.

When it gets to the line JSON.stringify - it returns a microsoft javascript error that JSON is not defined

I have spent two days trying to get this to run and could do with your help. Any thoughts ??

 function jsonSend() {
    var JSONJSON = {};
    var json = document.getElementById("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_JsonTfr").value;
    JSONJSON['insc_users'] = json;
    var jsonStr = JSON.stringify(JSONJSON);  //**this is where it fails**
    $.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'http://www.thiswebsite.co.uk/receive.php',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: jsonStr,
    success: function (data) {

    // handleLoginLocally(u, p);
    console.log('LOG.LOGIN: trying login using local storage');
    },
    error: function () {
    console.log('LOG.LOGIN: login remote server failed');

    // handleLoginLocally(u, p);
    console.log('LOG.LOGIN: trying login using local storage');
    }
    });
