Accessing JSON data from Parse with Javascript

I have some files up on Parse.com and want to pull them down using JSON. After I pull down the json data I wish to display this on a HTML page. One of the elements I am pulling down is nested and contains the objectID of a element I wish to make a further call to.

Here is the line I am stuck with: 

        document.getElementById("subjectName").innerHTML=subject.exam.objectId;

This is setting a HTML tag to undefined. If I have a similar structure such as:

        document.getElementById("subjectName").innerHTML=subject.exam.className;

it will set the element as expected. The JSON data I am pulling down is as follows

{
"exam": {
    "__type": "Pointer",
    "className": "exam",
    "objectId": "UP7CeBZNz8"
},
"name": "Computer Architecture",
"objectId": "Pf1tKLYzjz",
"createdAt": "2014-04-24T09:22:22.732Z",
"updatedAt": "2014-04-29T16:21:40.855Z"
}

If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated!

The problem might be because you're setting it to the same element.

if you have used

document.getElementById("subjectName").innerHTML

in both the assignments, it will not work. this works:

document.getElementById("objectId").innerHTML=subject.exam.objectId;
document.getElementById("subjectName").innerHTML=subject.exam.className;

Fiddle here
