google maps api json pass array

Question

I have a google map which I am getting json data from. I want to automatically build a string that I can pass to the marker object. I get an error "invalid object initializer" in firebug when I do this. Does this make sense or is their a better way to handle this.

function buildMarkers(json) {

    $.each(json, function(z) {     
        var asdf;
        $.each(this, function(key,valueObj){
            //console.log(key + '---' + valueObj);
            asdf += key + ': ' + valueObj + ', ';
        });


        markers[z] = new google.maps.Marker({
                map: map, 
                position: new google.maps.LatLng(this.school_lat,this.school_long),
                asdf
        });

etc....

yes you're right, I want it to be object values... I believe? — Brian Barthold
Can you give an example of the JSON output? You are going to have to put together all of the MarkerOptions and pass them to Marker() at the same time. — Bryan Weaver

try building your json object like this:

var asdf = [];
$.each(this, function(key, valueObj) {
    asdf.push({key: key, value: valueObj});
});
