Question

im having some problems outting my returned array – on console log it shows

    {
   "text":"{\"error\":false,\"msg\":\"found in search\"}",
   "data":{
      "notifications":[

      ]
   }
}

im using

success : function(data){               
            $('#waiting').hide(500);
            $('#message').removeClass().addClass((data.error === true) ? 'error' : 'success').text(data.msg).show(500);
            if (data.error === true)
                $('#restricted_locator').show(500);
        },

however data.msg returns undefined, but now looking at the array its got nothing to fetch but how can i change to get the data from text?

Thanks in advance!

If I’m not mistaken, you have to parse “data” to JSON using jQuery.parseJSON(data) or $.parseJSON(data) so your code should be:

function(data) {               
    var data_obj = $.parseJSON( data.text );

    $('#waiting').hide(500);
    $('#message').removeClass().addClass((data_obj.error === true) ? 'error' : 'success').text(data_obj.msg).show(500);

    if (data_obj.error === true)
        $('#restricted_locator').show(500);
    },
