    <p>I am new to node.js and json and am having trouble returning the JSON object to the client html page that's using <code>$.getjson</code>.</p> <p>In the example below when i point the same code at the api.twitter.... url I can query and return the value. But when I point this to my own node.js back end that's spitting out the same JSON the <code>alert('inside callback: ' + data[0].is_translator);</code> does not pop up. What am I doing wrong here? I would really appreciate some help here.</p> <p>This is script code in my test.html that's calling $.getJSON.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; //var url = "http://localhost:5000/searchPlaces?callback=?"; function abc(result) { //var url = "http://localhost:5000/random" var url = "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/21947795900469248/retweeted_by.json?callback=?"; alert('before $.getjson'); $.getJSON(url, function(data) { alert('hello'); alert('inside callback: ' + data[0].is_translator); abc(result.data); }) } abc(); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p>This is the code from my node.js backend:</p> <pre><code>var http = require("http"); var url = require("url"); var port = process.env.PORT || 8888 function start(route, handle){ function onRequest(request, response) { var postData = ""; var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname; console.log("Request received for:" + pathname + " receieved."); response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "application/json"}); var otherObject = {"is_translator":false,"id":644233,"followers_count":77}; response.write( JSON.stringify({ anObject: otherObject }) ); response.end(); // route(handle, pathname, response, request); } http.createServer(onRequest).listen(port); console.log("Server had started. Port:" + port); } exports.start = start; </code></pre> <hr>

    1. COYou said second `alert` is not showing. do you see the first one? The code you have shown doesn't send the response of type array, so `data[0]` will fail, and you should see an error in console

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.
