to this:

{ 'firstname' : 'bob', 'lastname' : 'smith', 'address1' : 'abc ave.' }   //////////    , '     (the comma and the single quote) before the  ending }    have been removed.

Notes for later:

 var datastring = "{ '";

            var gather = $('input[gatherkind*="createnewuser"]').each(function ()
            {
                datastring += $(this).attr("customtag") + "' : '" + $(this).val() + "', '";  
            });

            datastring += "}";

            var b = datastring.replace(", '}", " }")


            alert(b);
