Twitter API JSON - wrong IDs of the tweets

I'm trying to display my last tweets with the twitter api on my website. I've included the following function (I use jQuery):

function render(o) {
  for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++){
    $('.section').append('<a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/mytwittername/status/' + o[i].id + '">' + o[i].text + '</a><br /><hr /><br />');
  }
}

After that I include the json file with the callback:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/mytwittername?
callback=render"></script>

It all works kinda fine. The content of the tweets is correct. But the ID isn't. The ID is correct, except the last digit is always a 0, but actually it is another number. In the source code of the json file the ID is the right one. Am I doing something wrong?

Try to parse out id_str attribute instead. JS doesn't support 64bit numbers as far as I know. So Twitter returns string representation.
