doesn't work with pure json arrays

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Many libraries will return JSON like below where multiple values appear in 
square brackets. Eg. ruby.

var option_tree = {
    "2004": [{"08":"2004-08"}],
    "2005": [{"04" : "2005-01", "07" : "2005-02"}]
  };

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
You should only see 2 dropdowns. Instead you see 3.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jquery 1.7 and the latest version as of Jan 2012

Please provide any additional information below.

I don't know why these libraries would use that particular format as that 
one-element array enclosure is unnecessary. This should be fixed server side 
IMHO as the plugin requires certain documented input format. Is the server-side 
fix somehow impossible?

I also think valid json input would benefit this plugin. It would also benefit 
in cases where pure js solution is needed. There are some tools to get json 
from objects, if this plugin does not accept json, additional manipulations are 
needed.

Plugin accepts json - in the provided case

{
    "2004": {"08":"2004-08"},
    "2005": {"04" : "2005-01", "07" : "2005-02"}
}

is the right format to use. You can safely produce that valid JSON server side 
and supply it to plugin via e.g. $.getJSON().
