you could also change from the .get()
method to the .getJSON()
method, jQuery will then parse the string returned as data
to a javascript object and/or array that you can then reference like any other javascript object/array.
using your code above, if you changed .get
to .getJSON
, you should get an alert of [object Object]
for each element in the array. If you changed the alert to alert(item.name)
you will get the names.
