Question

Sorry, I know this question is easy, but I don’t know how to get the response data
from a returned dictionary:

This is my jQuery.get() method:

$("#selectDireccion").change(function() {
    $("select option:selected").each(function() {
        if ($(this).index() != 0) {
            valorKeyId = $(this).val()
            $.get("/ajaxRequest?opcion=obtenerSedeKeyId", {
                keyId: valorKeyId
            }, function(data) {
                alert(data)
            });
        }
    });
});​

This is what the alert prints:

{"name": "First Value", "phone": "434534"}

How should I do to get the value from the ‘name’ key of the dictionary?

Doing data.name inside an alert has no effect.

Thanks!

It appears you are returning a JSON string. If that is the case, then you first need to run jQuery’s parseJSON function:

var d = $.parseJSON(data);
alert(d.name); // Will output the name from the JSON string.

Or, better yet (per the comment by @calvin L), use the jQuery getJSON to begin with:

$.getJSON("/ajaxRequest?opcion=obtenerSedeKeyId",{keyId:valorKeyId}, function(data){
    alert(data.name); // Data already parsed to JSON, outputs the name
});
