getJSON request isnt parsing data

Question

I have a page that onload is adding fields to a form, but this call never seems to step into the .each statement inside of getJSON. I can see the url being fetched with a GET on the network tab of chrome, but it doesnt add any inputs to my form.

$.each( brand, function( key, value ) {
    if(domain == value) $("#brand").show();
    $.getJSON( 'http://forms.anniesatticmysteries-news.com/ats/url.aspx?cr=422&wu=1', function( data ) {
        $.each( data, function( key, val ) {
            $("#brandForm").append('<input type="hidden" name="s_email_sp'+ [value][0] +'_status_id" value="'+ [value][2] +'" /> ');
        });
    });
});

And here is a part of my json object.

{
"anniescatalog-news.com":["1","email_sp1_status_id","{(email_sp1_status_id)}"],
"anniesmysteries-news.com":["2","email_sp2_status_id","{(email_sp2_status_id)}"],
"anniesnewsletters-news.com":["3","email_sp3_status_id","{(email_sp3_status_id)}"],
"annies-publishing-news.com":["4","email_sp4_status_id","{(email_sp4_status_id)}"]
}

The domains are the same that I am requesting from, so it shouldnt be a cross site issue. Here is the url: http://forms.anniesatticmysteries-news.com/ats/show.aspx?cr=422&fm=43&dm=AnniesAtticMysteries-news.com

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure your Json is formatted incorrectly for what you want.

If you take:

var obj1 = {
"anniescatalog-news.com":["1","email_sp1_status_id","{(email_sp1_status_id)}"],
"anniesmysteries-news.com":["2","email_sp2_status_id","{(email_sp2_status_id)}"],
"anniesnewsletters-news.com":["3","email_sp3_status_id","{(email_sp3_status_id)}"],
"annies-publishing-news.com":["4","email_sp4_status_id","{(email_sp4_status_id)}"]
}; 

If you look at this in an inspector you can see the url is a property name not a value:

so you can't access anniescatalog-news.com as a value. The property is called anniescatalog-news.com: obj1.anniescatalog-news.com == "1","email_sp1_status_id","{(email_sp1_status_id)}" Fiddle here

If you can change the Json to:

[
    {name:"anniescatalog-news.com", value:["1","email_sp1_status_id","{(email_sp1_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"anniesmysteries-news.com", value:["2","email_sp2_status_id","{(email_sp2_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"anniesnewsletters-news.com", value:["3","email_sp3_status_id","{(email_sp3_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"annies-publishing-news.com", value:["4","email_sp4_status_id","{(email_sp4_status_id)}"]}
]

Or similar. Now you have an array (Json notation: [])of objects (Json notation: {}) containing name and value pairs. So you can access these thus:

var obj1 = [
    {name:"anniescatalog-news.com", value:["1","email_sp1_status_id","{(email_sp1_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"anniesmysteries-news.com", value:["2","email_sp2_status_id","{(email_sp2_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"anniesnewsletters-news.com", value:["3","email_sp3_status_id","{(email_sp3_status_id)}"]},
    {name:"annies-publishing-news.com", value:["4","email_sp4_status_id","{(email_sp4_status_id)}"]}
];

$.each(obj1, function(index, obj2) {
    alert(obj2.name);
});

fiddle

You can also access the value array thus:

obj2.value[1]

Fiddle

BTW the standard Json serializer's tend to make a hash of this kind of stuff. I'd recommend Json.Net for something that works better.

Your response is badly formatted for some reason:

Doing there??? Use fiddler to inspect your HTTP.
