I have some really simple json I need to parse and then run conditional statements on. The json looks like: thejson( {"catalog.exists":"0"},""); And I am trying to parse it with: $('.clicky').click(function(){ $.ajax({ type: 'GET', url: 'http://myjsonfile.com', data: 'req=exists,json', dataType: 'jsonp', success: function (results) { var x= catalog.exists; $("#results").append(x); } }); }); However I just get an error that thejson is not defined. Thanks in advance for any help.
looks like you're trying to call a function thejson({...}); rather then assigning it as a variable: var thejson = {...};
