I am making an AJAX get
request that displays JSON data in a HTML table. I know how to do this with Javascript, so I thought I'd try it with jQuery. There is a problem in my .each
loop. I am vague on how the arguments (key, object)
process more than one key value pair in each position and suspect this is where my error lies.
I have tried JSON.parse
, but that didn't help. I am definitely getting the data as I can display it in an alert box. I suspect that what I'm doing is not industry standard and that there is a more elegant way to reach my objective.
$("#button").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
url: "http://www.adweb.agency/interview/api/animals",
data: {format: 'json'},
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
var i = 0;
var table = '<table class="mainTable"><tr><th>item</th><th>image</th><th>description</th></tr>';
$.each(data, function (key, object) {
table += ('<tr>');
table += ('<td>' + data.Title + '</td>');
table += ('<td><img src="' + data.ImageURLs.Thumb + '"></td>');
table += ('<td>' + data.Description + '</td>');
table += ('</tr>');
});
table += '</table>';
$('#tableContainer').html(table);
}
});
});
Here's the right code that you need, just copy and paste, regards!
