I want to add a new row to my JSON when the user clicks a link. Here's my javascript: It's not erroring, but I am not getting updated JSON in my alert.

$(document).ready( function(){



people = {

    COLUMNS:[NAME,AGE],

    DATA:[

    [Jon,16],

    [Jerry,23]

    ]

} 



members = people.DATA;

var nc = <table border=1 width=500><tr><td>name</td><td>age</td><td></td></tr>;



for(var i=0;i<members.length;i++)

{

    nc+= '<tr><td>' + members[i][0] + '</td>';

    nc+= '<td>' + members[i][1] + '</td>';

    nc+= '<td><a href= class=addlink>add a new person</a></td></tr>';

}



nc += </table>;



$(#result).html(nc);



$(.addlink).click( function(){ 



    // add another row to our JSON

    people.DATA['NAME'] = new;

    people.DATA['AGE'] = 99;



    alert(people.DATA);

    return false;



});

});
