Jquery to display a JSON data in a web page

Question

I have to display a JSON data in a web page on button click

<table>
  <tr>
    <td style="height:10px;">
      <div id="testResult" style="padding-left: 120px; display: none; ">
        <img src="./images/spinner.gif" />Running the test...
      </div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

It s the html data am using

Bellow is the code written in the button click

    $('#runBtn').click(function() {
         $.get('/getReport', function (data) {
alert(data) // prints [{ "id" : 16, "jobid" : "49", "status" : "Falied" }]
        $('#testResult').html(data);
        });
    }

But nothing is showing in the web page

Isn't your testResult element hidden? <div id="testResult" style="... display: none; "> — Ram

I assume that's not all of your HTML, since there's no element with an ID of runBtn in there. — Anthony Grist

Since alert() doesn't print [object Object] this means that jQuery doesn't parse the response, you should either parse the JSON yourself using JSON.parse() or pass the dataType as the third argument to $.get(url, fn, 'json') function. — Ram

@BlackSheep Or use jQuery.getJSON(). If they parse it from a string to an array, however, they can't just pass that directly to .html() - jQuery has no idea what to do with that (it just seems to fail silently). — Anthony Grist

@AnthonyGrist Yes, .html() doesn't do anything with that array, I assumed setting the JSON response as innerHTML of an element is not the OP's final goal. — Ram

The div with the id "testResult" is hidden. Change your Jquery to the following example, to make it visible.

$('#runBtn').click(function() {
    $.get('/getReport', function (data) {
        alert(data) // prints [{ "id" : 16, "jobid" : "49", "status" : "Falied" }]
        $('#testResult').html(data).show();
    });
}

I made an example on jsfiddle. Try it here: jsfiddle.net/ph3nx/F6uAn/4/

Or chain the functions: $('#testResult').html(data).show();

Also you need to loop the data for getting each items from json object:

$.each(data, function(index, value) {
  alert(index + ': ' + value.Name);
});

It's never actually parsed so it's just a string, not an array.

The 'display: none' part of your html div (with id 'testResult') prevents this div from showing. You should change/remove it.
