Question

$('#myClick2').change(function () {
   if (this.checked) {
     $.getJSON('message_center_getMessageLists.asp', {}, function (json) {

             $.each(json.items, function (i, item) {
              alert(item.rank.distID);
              alert(item.rank.name);
              alert(item.rank.description);
             });
         })
         .error(function () {
           alert("There was an error while trying to make this request;  If it persists please contact support"); 
   });
  }
});

I cannot seem to get the above to work, I have to be missing something.

Below is the Json I am trying to loop through

{
    "rank": [
        {
            "distID": "1",
            "name": "John Doe",
            "description": "My Rank"
        },
        {
            "distID": "2",
            "name": "Jane Dow",
            "description": "My Rank"
        },
        {
            "distID": "3",
            "name": "Robin Doe",
            "description": "My Rank"
        },
        {
            "distID": "4",
            "name": "Ryan Doe",
            "description": "My Rank"
        }
    ]
}

Answer 1

it looks like you might want:

$.each(json.rank, function(i, item)

?
