Question

I am returning the data below from a PHP script:

[{“Town”:”Mancetter”},{“Town”:”Manchester”},{“Town”:”Mancot Royal”}]

I basically just want to loop through the results and display the town, here is my jQuery:

function search_town(){


var keyword = $('.town_s').val()


    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "class/ajax.php",
        data: { "town_search" : keyword },
        success: function(data){

            var data = $.parseJSON(data);

            for (var i = 0, l = data.length; i < l; i++) {

                    alert(i + ': ' + data[i]);
                }


        }
});

        }

I’m not getting the results desired… what is alerted is 0:[object Object]

Any ideas where I may be going wrong?

Thanks

You need to specify the property to get

data[i].Town

by looping you are going through each object in the array.. so the first iteration will get you

{"Town":"Mancetter"}

Which you can access the property in the loop by using data[i].Town

and so on
