JQUERY getJSON / ajax response not being processed

Question

I am sending a json request to a server as below:

$.getJSON("prod_search.php?type=getCustInfo&custID="+custID, function(json) {
  alert(json.address);
  $("#invAddress").html(json.address);
  $("#currency").html(json.second);
});

Using firebug to check, the response is below, but the alert shows 'undefined' and no values are inserted.

[{"address":"abc123","second":"ABC"}]

Any ideas?

are the [] brackets added for readability or anything? because it looks like its an array with an object in it, does alert(json[0].address) work? — red-X

Use

json=json[0]

at first in the callback. You receive an array, and the object you like to access is the first(and only) item inside this array.

i agree with this answer. [] <-- array {} <-- object so a [{}] would return an array with an object
