I'm using action=parse, format=json, and the result creates a JavaScript JSON object. The HTML I wish to use is in result.parse.text.*, and the problem is JavaScript detects a syntax error because of the property named "*". How can I work around this?
Use the array-like syntax to access the property: result.parse.text['*']. You could even use result['parse']['text']['*'] if you really wanted.
