Question

I’m trying to build an app that gets JSON from server and then shows a javascript alert if the JSON response has designated row. The JSON I get from server looks like this:

{
    "key": [
        {
            "IND": "406",
            "NUMBER": "9",
            "MESSAGE": "this is a test",
            "status": "ok"
        }
    ]
}

And this is the code I use to show the alert:

function UpdateRecord(update_id) {
    var id = getUrlVars()["id"];
    jQuery.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: serviceURL + "test.php",
        data: 'id=' + id,
        cache: false,
        success: function(data) {
            if (data.status == 'ok') {
                alert(data.message);
            } else {
                alert("no");
            }
        }
    });
}​

But this code alerts “no” even though the JSON has a row "status": "ok"

Answer 1

you have “key” defined in your jSON, sohould it not be

if(data.key[0].status == "ok")
