    <p>This is my first experience with using JSON so I'm probably doing something really dumb.</p> <p>I built an app to scrape pages and return a JSON object.</p> <p>My JSON returned looks like this (using Facebook as an example):</p> <pre><code>{"urlTitle":"Welcome to Facebook \u2014 Log in, sign up or learn more","urlDescription":" Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, post links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet."} </code></pre> <p>However, in FireBug I get the above error (also see screenshot).</p> <p>My jQuery code gets the JSON via AJAX and looks simple right now:</p> <pre><code>$("#submitButton").on("click", function(){ $.ajax({ url: '/miscellaneous/scrape/scrape.cfm', dataType: 'json', data: { strURL: $.param( $("#submitURL").attr("value") ) }, type: 'POST', success: function(data) { alert("yes!"); } }); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>I never get my success message :( Just the error!</p> <p>Am I doing something really obviously wrong here?</p> <p>Thanks, Michael.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dRMXS.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>EDIT</p> <p>Here's my entire JSON as requested:</p> <pre><code>{"urlTitle":"Welcome to Facebook \u2014 Log in, sign up or learn more","urlImages":{"image_8":"http:\/\/static.ak.fbcdn.net\/rsrc.php\/v2\/yb\/r\/GsNJNwuI-UM.gif","image_6":"http:\/\/photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net\/photos-ak-snc7\/v85005\/226\/255889644513526\/app_104_255889644513526_1061222291.png","image_7":"http:\/\/secure-us.imrworldwide.com\/cgi-bin\/m?ci=ent156564&amp;am=3&amp;ep=1&amp;at=view&amp;rt=banner&amp;st=image&amp;ca=cmp7747&amp;cr=crv72918&amp;pc=plc220331&amp;r=1346702536","image_4":"http:\/\/photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net\/photos-ak-snc7\/v85006\/156\/156324174503268\/app_104_156324174503268_1504955413.png","image_5":"http:\/\/photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net\/photos-ak-snc7\/v85005\/78\/344521295633922\/app_104_344521295633922_1943760717.png","image_3":"http:\/\/photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net\/photos-ak-snc7\/v85005\/14\/298987460188718\/app_104_298987460188718_170436975.png","image_2":"http:\/\/photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net\/photos-ak-snc7\/v85006\/196\/287530028007964\/app_104_287530028007964_853932327.png","image_1":"http:\/\/static.ak.fbcdn.net\/rsrc.php\/v2\/yY\/r\/2LiCtrj0cdC.png"},"urlDescription":" Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.

    1. COCan you post a sample of the json file? Seems to. Me that it might be malformed.

    2. COThat's an error Sizzle throws. You're probably somehow passing the JSON as a selector like `$(json)`.

    3. COThe JSON is valid: http://jsfiddle.net/esRtf/. As pimvdb already said, it looks more like a Sizzle error. *edit:* it's still valid: http://jsfiddle.net/esRtf/1/. You must be doing something with the data that you are not showing to us.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
