Can someone explain what is going on with this Json

[m2244]

I am trying to figure out what the guy who created this code did here. I am taking over this project and he is gone.

This first one is the one I need to understand

jxml = $.xml2json(success);

This one is not as important.

JSFX_FloatDiv('floatingConsol', 10, 8).floatVert();

For the first one you'd need to find the definition of the $ object and then locate the xml2json method that has been attached to that object. Whatever that is coded to do is what that statement will do.

For the second one you'd need to look at the code defining the JSFX_FloatDiv function - you then need to look for what type of object that function returns and then look at the code for the floatVert() method associated with that object.

If any of thise JavaScript objects/methods/functions are defined within a framework then the documentation for the framework may tell you what they do without your having to read the JavaScript to work it out.

felgall has provided the correct way
you can answer you own questions.

here is a guess ...

jxml = $.xml2json(success);

success contains the
xml results of an $.Ajax
call $.xml2json converts
that to javascript Object
litteral notation and jxml
will contain the object
described by the xml

JSFX_FloatDiv('floatingConsol', 10, 8).floatVert();

aliows the div with the id of floatingConsol
to remain in the upper left hand corner
even when the page is scrolled
