Question

Though I use CouchDB-specific JQuery verison, the problem can appear to be not related to CouchDB. There is a list of document id’s, and I’m using openDoc function from the docs to retrieve a document when user clicks the id:

$('.doc_name').click(function() {
    var doc_id = $(this).html().toString()
    console.log(doc_id);
    db.openDoc({
        ocId : doc_id,
        success : function(data) { console.log(data); }
    });
});

The rest of the code (66 lines) is here.

The console.log(doc_id) outputs a string, but I get an error: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'split' at the point where docId is processed.

What is the problem? Any suggestions?

Move the docId to the first parameter of the openDoc call. Eg:

db.openDoc(doc_id, {
    success : function(data) { console.log(data); }
});

Here are some handy references for the jquery.couch.js file:
