Question

I’m trying to parse a JSON response with jQuery but it’s not working.
This the response I’m getting from the server:

[{"id":4,"targetUser":2},{"id":5,"targetUser":2}]

What I want to do is append the targetUser and id to a #box:

$.get(cometQuery(), function(data){
    var resp = jQuery.parseJSON(data);

    $.each(data, function(key, val) {
        $("#box").append(key + ": " + val);
    });
});

The server is actually rendering a Java ArrayList, so there could be more than one record.
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

When you call $.each(), you forgot to provide resp instead of data:

$.each(resp, function(key, val) {
    $("#box").append(key + ": " + val);
});
