Hi

How do I capture the JSON data in a usable manner?

Thanks

Following code executes the CGI script:

<script type="text/javascript">        

$(document).ready(function(){
  alert("entered function");    

  $.getJSON("http://www.xxx.org/httpsdocs/cgi-bin/update_tables.cgi?ac
+tion=updatetable_167&kind=0&searchterm=19", 
  function(data){
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
    document.write(key+":"+value+"<br />"); 
 });
});
});
    
</script

Nothing printed out

Below is log showing that the query was executed and returned the correct values

JSON print works as I captured output in an IFrame for testing.

    my $searchResult = $sth->fetchrow_hashref();

    my $count = $sth->rows;

    warn("count = '$count'");
    if ($count == 0) {
      warn("Failed Search: '$searchfield' equal to '$searchterm' "); 
      my %searchFail = ( SearchError => $kind);
      my $json = JSON->new; 
      $json->canonical(1);
      $json = encode_json(\%searchFail);
        print "Content-Type: application/json\n\n";
      print $json;
      warn("Finished print 0 count $json");    
      exit(1);
     }  #{"SearchError":0} Good
    else {
      warn("count = '$count'");
      my $json = JSON->new; 
      $json->canonical(1);
      $json = encode_json($searchResult);
      print "Content-Type: application/json\n\n";
      print $json;
      warn("Finished print $json");    
      exit(0);
    }
