name: "Jack Johansson"
sortvar: 1342676288

Using this Array and mustache. I generate a list of html list-elements. However I don’t use the “Name” variable. It’s in there for a debug function. When the debug is run I want to add/append the name-variable to the beginning of it’s equivalent list-node. What is a good way of doing this? I would prefer to not create a new template in mustache.

I believe the solution is something like:

foreach(item in array){
  $(li).append('<p>'+item.name+'</p>');
}

But this will add the item.name all list items. I want to add the first item.name to the first list item, and the second item.name to the second etc.

I dont understand Mustache,

If you want to add Name attribute to an Js Object only while debugging some logic like,

var x={

};

if(debug)x.name="Jack Johansson";

can be used, again I am totally unaware of mustache.

Do you want something like:

var index = 0;
foreach(item in array){
  $("#mainslector li").eq(index++).append('<p>'+item.name+'</p>');
}

Just saw your update, still not exactly sure of what you want, this just demonstrates selecting nth li for nth element.
