Get value from json response

I have following JSON response received from server:

   {
    "msg": "S",
    "comments": {
        "iRecords": [{
            "id": "9",
            "bid": "1",
            "uid": "5",
            "comment": "This is # 009",
            "adate": "Tuesday, 5th April, 2011 11:15:05",
            "status": "1",
            "userid": "5",
            "username": "pavlos",
            "oauthprovider": "l",
            "profile_link": null
        }]
    }
  }

Iam using following javascript/jQuery to get values but it is showing nothing:

obj = jQuery.parseJSON(responseText);
alert(obj.comments.iRecords[adate]);

Note: alert(obj.msg); is working fine.

How can I get value of adate in Javascript.

Thanks in advance

iRecords holds an array of objects, so you need to access the first index of the array to get to the first object: 

obj = jQuery.parseJSON(responseText); 
alert(obj.comments.iRecords[0]["adate"]);

or

alert(obj.comments.iRecords[0].adate);

You haven't defined a variable called adate and iRecords is an array

If you use square bracket notation then you have to pass in a string containing the property name, not a variable with the same name as the property.

obj.comments.iRecords[0].adate;

obj has a comments object which has an iRecods member which is an array with 1 element so;

x = obj.comments.iRecords[0].adate
