I have an array of javascript obejcts. I want to send this array to server. I tried :

JSON.stringify(jObectArray);

But at server side i am getting the empty array. How can i send it to server successfully ?

We can't see your array... edit: in fact we can't see how you're sending it either... — Barrie Reader

If you're using jQuery, try this: api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax — MassivePenguin

More information is needed: the unknowns at present are (a) the contents of jObjectArray and (b) what the server is doing. — Chris Morgan

Without seeing any of your code:

var arr = ["one","two","three"];
arr = JSON.stringify(arr);
$.ajax({
  url: "something.something",
  data: {
    theArray: arr
  },
  success: function(data) {
    //success
  }
});

EDIT:
What does your array look like...?

You didnt specify 'type' in ajax ('get' or 'post')

You should make:

$.ajax({
   url :'urltoserver',
   data: { myArray : jObectArray },
   dataType: 'JSON'
 });

$.ajax({
   url :'urltoserver',
   data: {'yourarray':JSON.stringify(jObectArray)},
   dataType: 'JSON',
   type:"POST"
 });

at server

print_r($_POST['yourarray']);
