Some information - I'm creating an autocomplete which gets the data from a json feed. The JSON part works fine and the result is valid. 

When I'm obtaining it, I'm using json2.js and running JSON.parse. When I try and output it tells me that it (the object containing the parsed JSON text) is actually undefined.

If I run an alert on the object and then output it works. It's probably something quite simple. But this is the bit that is confusing as it works fine if I alert the object

I know that it won't work on everything, I'm just trying to get it working for now and I'll improve it.

Thank you and if there is any more information I can provide I will.

The code

```
//sURL takes a search term that's passed into the function

var JSON_object = {};
var oRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
var sURL  = "datalinkhere"+input.value;

oRequest.open("GET",sURL,true);
oRequest.setRequestHeader("User-Agent",navigator.userAgent);
oRequest.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (oRequest.readyState == 4 && oRequest.status == 200)
    {
        JSON_object = JSON.parse( oRequest.responseText );
    }
};
oRequest.send(null);

suggestion(JSON_object,input);

function suggestion(inp,targetid)
{
    document.getElementById('autosuggest').style.display='block';
    document.getElementById('autosuggest').innerHTML=inp[1].namefield;
}

```
