});

or

...function(data) {
    alert(data.firstName['lastName']);
});

JQuery doesn't effect object access, so you can just do 

data.firstName.lastName

The object['property'] syntax is only needed in javascript for numbers or syntactically ambiguous keys (e.g. those containing spaces).

Javascript doesn't technically have associative arrays, so technically in Javascript you're working with an Object. Either syntax you used should work.

This worked for me but its very ugly 

<?php

$result['firstName']['lastName']='johan';
$data =  json_encode($result);

?>
<html>
<body onload='myfunction(<?php echo $data; ?>);'>
<script>
function myfunction(data) 
{
alert(data.firstName.lastName);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
