You just want to access the property? You don't have to access properties with the dot syntax (myObject.foo.txt), which obviously causes problems here. Just access it with square brackets:

myObject['foo.txt']


var myObject = { 'foo.txt': 'Hello World!' };
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = myObject['foo.txt'];
document.body.appendChild(div);

Firefox has Object.toSource() which prints object as JSON or you can install Firebug and print with console.log(object)
