Question

I have a probably quite simple to solve problem. I’m trying to parse this JSON file using jquery:

My jQuery code looks like that:

$.post("/xhr/fav_switch", {event_id: event_id}, function(data) {
    event = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    alert(event.pk);
});

but no matter which field i’m trying to access in alert, it allways says undefined. have you any idea what am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Answer 1

$.post("/xhr/fav_switch", {event_id: event_id}, function(data) {
    var events = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
    var event = events[0];
    alert(event.pk);
});

You get an array (with one element) back, so event is an array. You need to get the first element of the array to get to the event object itself.
