Question

Im pulling a JSON result from MYSQL using JQUERY.
Im then displaying the result in a loop in order to fill a UL list.

var auto_refresh = setInterval(
function ()
{
url='<?php echo base_url(); ?>index.php/chat/comments/';

$.getJSON(url , function(data) {
var tbl_body = "";
$.each(data, function() {
    var tbl_row = "";
    $.each(this, function(k , v) {
        tbl_row += ""+v+"";
    })
    tbl_body += "<li>"+tbl_row+"</li>";                 
})
$("#table1").html(tbl_body);
});

}, 1000);

This displays the results as

CommentName

I want to have the Name in italics and the comment in plain text like

Comment – Name

How would i go about seperating the name from the comment so i can make it italic?

Cheers

You can probably do this :

$.each(data, function() {
    tbl_body += data[0] + ' <i>' + data[1] + '</i>';                 
})

or

$.each(data, function() {
    tbl_body += data.comment + ' <i>' + data.name + '</i>';                 
})

But it’s hard to guess without the JSON structure (probably an array and not an object because with a plain object there would be risks about the iteration order).
