Help JSON

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to add new properties to a JSON object? I've tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work :-/

I.e. if you have properties and values like this:

var example = {
  1: {
    Name: "Henrik",
    Age: 28
  }
  2: {
    Name: "Henrik",
    Age: 28
  }
};

How to I add a new property and value to 1: or 2: like this?

Country: "Denmark"

var example = {
  1: {
    Name: "Henrik",
    Age: 28
  },
  2: {
    Name: "Henrik",
    Age: 28
  }
};

example["1"].country = 'Denmark';
example["2"].country = 'Philippines';

You're missing a comma ( , ) after the first property of your object Cheers

Thanks a million times! You just saved my day! :-D

Yes now I see the missing comma, but I just made the example very quick because I just couldn't figure out how to add new properties and values :-P
