load json

Hello all,
I was experimenting with the learningwebgl tuts and was trying to load a json file and draw it on the screen
I have a json file named cube.json in the directory where i have stored my index.html
the json have been converted from the obj of a plane.
I cant seem to load the json and draw it. I dont knwo where i am doing wrong, please somebody help me

this is the json file

{
“objectName” : [“Plane”],
“texturePath” : [“(null)”],
“vertexPositions” : [1.000000,0.000000,-1.000000,1.000000,0.000000,1.000000,-1.000000,0.000000,1.000000,-1.000000,0.000000,-1.000000],
“vertexTextureCoords” : [],
“indices” : [0,3,2,1],
“texIndices” : []
}

and my index.html is

Please post the problem that you are getting.

Do you get anything displayed at all? :shock:

Do you get any errors? :?

Do you get any Javascript error (visible in the Error Console). 8)

If you are using FireFox then you can also turn the Verbose on WebGL to True so that you will also see WebGL errors in the Error Console. 8)

You can also look at my WebGL Joint And Object Framework (available at http://webtable.byethost15.com/WebGL). This is a Framework for creating objects and moving their joints but it contains a Javascript file for loading simple and complex (as in your case) JSON files. :smiley:
