Question

Here’s my problem.

I have this html table:

<table class="flexme" id="table" border="1">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th width="100">Usuario</th>
      <th width="100">Nombre</th>
      <th width="100">Apellido</th>
      <th width="100">Cedula/Rif</th>
      <th width="140">Direccion</th>
      <th width="100">E-mail</th>
      <th width="100">Telefono1</th>
      <th width="100">Telefono2</th>
      <th width="100">Status</th>
      <th width="150">Acci&oacute;n</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr id="test">
      <td></td>
    </tr>
   </tbody>
</table>

and I have this ajax request:

$.ajax({ 
   type    : "POST",
   url     : "service.php",
   dataType: "json",
   data: {
       action:"search",
       type: 'users',
       parameter: parameter,
       parameterContent: parameterContent,
   },           
   success:function(data) {
       $('#searchResults').show();
       var len = data.length;
       for (var i = 0; i< len; i++) {
       var username  = data[i].username;
       var name  = data[i].uname;
       var lastname  = data[i].lastname;

   }
})

What is the correct way to populate the html table with the info that comes via JSON? I have been trying with no success. I have done tests with append() html() but no success at all, can someone please point me into the right direction?

What I want is to take the info that comes via JSON and populate the table dynamically with this info.

You could try this:

    var table = $("#table tbody");
    $.each(data, function(idx, elem){
        table.append("<tr><td>"+elem.username+"</td><td>"+elem.name+"</td>   <td>"+elem.lastname+"</td></tr>");
    });
