I am trying to display JSON data that I retrieve from an ajax call

  • 0

I am trying to display JSON data that I retrieve from an ajax call but I am unable to display any data despite getting the JSON object just fine. 

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title></title>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>

<script>


$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON("http://servername:10000/_vti_bin/webservice/service1.svc/getListTitle",
  {
    username: "a",
    password: "b",
    list: "calendar",
  },
  function(data) {
    alert(1);
    // and the rest
  }
)
});

</script>

<body>
</body
</html>

I don’t get any alerts but using Fiddler I can see the JSON object.

{"GetListTitleResult":"Calendar"}

So what am I missing here? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It seems like the code doesn’t go all the way to the function(data) part. But firebug doesn’t show any syntax errors either. I still get the JSON response through Fiddler. Any help here?

    Change your code this way – 

    $.getJSON("http://servername:10000/_vti_bin/webservice/service1.svc/getListTitle",
{
    username: "a",
    password: "b",
    list: "calendar",
},
function(data)
{
    $.each(data, function(i,item)
    {
        alert(item);
    });
});

    In my opinion, these are the following mistakes that you’ve made –

    1. Since data itself will be a collection, you don’t need to get data.items. Just pass the data as is to the each function.
    2. The callback of the each iterator will be passed the key and the value for each item in the collection. Hence, i will be GetListTitleResult, and item will be Calendar.
