title: Jquery object vs string problems
body: <p>I deleted my old post as it contained a lot of spam.  And I created a jsfiddle to reproduce the issue I am having.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/mLxSP/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/mLxSP/</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>console.clear();
  var args = '{ action: downline }';
  
  showObject(args);
  
  showObject({ action: 'downline' });
  
  
  function showObject(args) {
  
      console.log(args);        
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I pass args as an object?  I'm currently building args into a string dynamically and need to pass it as an object for the function to work correctly.</p>
