i have callback of jquery ajax call with json result as:

function (data) {
            alert(data);
            alert(data['169874']);
}

and:

alert(data) shows: {"169874":"123"}

but:

alert(data['169874']) shows undefined.

You need to JSON.parse() the JSON string before accessing it as Javascript Object:

data = JSON.parse(data);

This is done automatically by jQuery, if you specify the dataType json in a $.ajax()help call. This is also done implicite by $.getJSON()help for instance.
