View 1 RepliesI have a html file that I want to load, loop through the json data and for each json entry I want to add a new block of the html and insert the json data into the matching div/class of the html. json looks like this:
{"Super" : [{"Name" : "John Doe", "Age" : "30"}, {"Name" : "Jane Doe", "Age" : "40"}]};
html looks like this:
<div class="Name"></div><div class="Age"></div>
So for each json entry of name/age, I want to insert that into the html, and then add another row, until all json data has been fetched. After this I want to insert all of this into #box, which is just a divthat should contain that html. Looping like this obviously does not work, since I just keep replacing the same html through the loop.
var jsonData = {"Super" : [{"Name" : "John Doe", "Age" : "30"}, {"Name" : "Jane Doe", "Age" : "40"}]};
$.each(json.Super, function() {
$('#box .Name').html(this.Name);
$('#box .Age).html(this.Age);
});
I want to know how to delete the returned JSON data.
ex:
$( "#clickme" ).click( function(){
var dataString = "something=" + somethingelse;
$.ajax({
url: "do.php",
[Code].....
I am trying to use jquery, json, ajax to display data in a list.
The js:
The div to hold the returned data:
I am new to Ajax and have a bit of a gap in my understanding. I have a status monitor that sets a JS function to run every second with setInterval. When the document loads, I will need to get data from the server asynchronously (I wont know the info before hand) and use that data to set id values to find them as nodes and change them later on.
The problem is as I see it, that the callback function I will use to grab the initial data is coming back via a JSON object. The callback function is done with javascript. So, how can I take the JSON data, or converted to javascript data and set my ID values when the document loads? If I change the values dynamically with the DOM, will those values be reliable enough to use as my other recurring functions find them and set their innerHTML properties?
I am doing a project now i going to use ajax to retrieve coordinate from the json in html and pin the coordinate onto a point on the map using javascript but the problem is i am only able to use one point on the map can tell me what to add in ? or how should i change it with? it will be nice if u can change the code from the below and show me how

So I can't for the life of me understand JSON. I've looked through numerous links but nothing. If I have a Database and all I want to pull is:
How do I print that out to an HTML document using JSON. I don't get it. I think it puts it in an array but how does it get there? Do I just print it out like I would a normal javascript array? If this isn't quite the right place to post this I apologize but there wasn't an AJAX section.
Is Json considered the better file format for loadind data via Jquery AJAX? I am going to use it either way, but from a cutting edge stand point, is JSON looked at a more cutting edge since it loads faster. 2. And for that matter is anyone using css3 and E4X? All these seem to require the latest versions of all browsers. Since my goal is to be cutting edge I was thinking to do some stuff in the above listed that require only the latest browser if it is detected, if not use what works in most all browsers? What are cutting edge web app developers really doing at this time?

[Code]...
It would seem that I cannot have anything other than 'json' in the dataType, even though from the docs it appears that this only affects the interpretation of the response, changing it's value to 'html' causes the web service to reject the call. I've also tried a converter but perhaps I'm not using it properly. Is it possible to use jquery to post JSON and get back HTML? What configurations am I missing?
so, the pseudo code: - on change of input contents, check to see if two input fields are set - if set, update a third field with "loading..." text and a loading gif - use ajax to send data to a url, and get a calculated json response - update the third field with the calculated response
I know I'm getting the correct response, according to firebug: {"pace":"10:00"}
the code:
$('#run_distance').change(function() {
if ($(this).val() != '' && $('#run_time').val() != '')
{
$('#run_pace').val('Calculating Paceā¦');
[Code].....
how to update the #run_pace input field with the json response.
I have a JSON structure in API.When I call the API in my code it returns as the same JSON .I have to print this JSON result as table with pagination in Javascript. The table should be dynamic with previous and next buttons and the table should populate the results according to the JSON and each page should have 20 entries and then the remaining entries should go on the next page and I should be able to go back and forth in the table using previous and next respectively.tell me the exact code of how to start with getting JSON from the API and then write the JSON data in the form of dynamic table with pagination.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to fix browser cache and notmodified respond for JSON? jQuery.aja ({ifModified:true}) break on data respond (bug ticked for it was closed like invalid).
Are there any other solution to get 304:notmodified without breaking cache and data respond?
First time browser request [url] returns status 200 OK and nexts 304 Not Modified
XHR first time returns ok:
But on next times returns data undefined:
How to solve it? Expected result:
$('#food_rate').load('/ajax.php?x=get_food');
$('#tax_rate').load('/ajax.php?x=get_tax');
$('#mood').html(function(){
return ($('#food_rate').html()-$('#tax_rate').html())*10;
});
$('#mood').html always contains the value of the values food_rate and tax_rate had before I loaded the new values in. (Before Line 1 and 2 happen)I already red, about event bubbling and event delegation, but the html-elements fax_rate and food_rate exist from the beginning, and only their innerHTML does change.
I want to post some HTML (contained in a div on the page) data using jQuery using $.ajax() method. But it is not working.

I have a textbox and button in html, and when something is fill in the textbox, i want to pass the value of the textbox to ajax, data: '{"name": theName}', I couldn't seems to get it to work.

"Joe"}',
HTML Code

<input id="callAjax" type="button" value="Submit" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="Default.js">

I have just started to learn about JQuery and wanted to learn how to retrieve data from an API.
I used the Flickr example provided here [url] and just changed the relevant code to point to the 500px api.
<body>
If I launch the following URL I do get the results properly [url]
Here's a sample of what the result looks like:-
I don't get any results when I run my code page. What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to compare incoming JSON data to the existing data to see if there are any changes, but for giant objects like:
Code:
[{"date":"2011-09-03 23:06:03","notifier_id":"1","type":"1","unread":"0"},{"date":"2011-09-05 00:37:46"}]
if (JSON.stringify(oldData) == JSON.stringify(newData))
This doesn't seem to work. I've tried using:
Code:
escape("'" + JSON.stringify(W.notification.list + "'"))
but that ignores the objects properties and returns something like 22%5Bobject%20Object%5D%2C%5Bobject
FYI, I am using jQuery 1.2.3, and the latest version of the jQuery Form plugin from URL...I am able to run the ColdFusion page on the server side to get the data, and Firebug is showing that I'm getting a response...but I'm unable to populate the JSON data into selected form fields on the page.I have two HTML forms; one for the user to input his/her ID number if available, and a longer form to collect more demographic info.Why is it not working? My forehead is getting bloody from banging it against this wall.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think I have a varialbe scope problem here, but I can't figure it out. What I'm trying to do is extract a piece of data from a JSON file using a variable established earlier in the script as one of the keys.
When I run this script I get the alert that lets me know that the variable "theMappableItem" has been established correctly. I click "OK" in the alert box. Then in my console (in firebug) I see a line showing that the .json file has been gotten successfully. Next in the console is an error that says:

Why is it necessary to eval or parse JSON data?If it is legal JS, why couldn't I just name the file in the src attribute of a <script> statement?

I'm a complete newbie to JSON and I'm trying to make some sense out of itI think that what I want to achieve is fairly basic, but I have no clue where to begin. Here's my problem:I want to get the information from this JSON-string, fetch the value for realm_rank and display it within a header-tag in my html-code.
