Jquery and HTML5 to search a JSON

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have stored the JSON file "ftp://mysite.com/json1.json" in my root server folder.
This should mean that "http://www.mysite.com/json1.json" holds true?

I am trying to use the search box to find the first:"thefirstname" and then printout the rest.

I am not getting anything in the last three text boxes.

HTML

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.1.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function process() {
        	$.getJSON("http://www.mysite.com/json1.json"){
        		$each(function(key,val){
        			if ($("#text1").val()="thefirstname" && key="first"){
	        	            $("#firstname").val(key.first);
		                    $("#lastname").val(key.last);
		                    $("#description").val(key.desc);
			         }
			});
	      	});
        }
    </script>
      <form name="myform" action="jQueryJson.htm">
	    <input type="text" name="text1" value="thefirstname" size="30" />                    <tr><td align="center" colspan="3">
<input type="button" name="search" value="Search for FirstName" size="50" onclick="process" /></td><td align="center"></td><td align="center">
</td></tr>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="" size="4"/></td><td align="center">
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="" size="4"/></td><td align="center">
<input type="text" name="description" value="" size="4"/>
	</form>

json1.json
[
	{"first":"fgdfb", last":"dfghdfgh", "desc":"jjif"},
	{"first":"jdtyhjn", last":"hmbnmgh", "desc":"hfhhfyif"},
	{"first":"fgbnfgjthj", last":"tewgsdfgngh", "desc":"argrayif"},
	{"first":"kuykyky", last":"bfbffc", "desc":"lykghif"},
	{"first":"thefirstname", last":"dsfhngh", "desc":"pgkkgff"},
	{"first":"ghjjhb", last":"fdasfgh", "desc":"nfhdfhjif"},
	{"first":"ohhklhjb", last":"qsdwdgh", "desc":"vfrfeif"}
]

What I have tried:

Tried using a button but this was more straightforward.

There are quite a number of syntax errors, for example , equal operator should be "==" not "=". There are also missing quotes in the json file. However, I shall not go into such matters. Your question is really about how to loop thru the array of json objects and access their properties (keys).
Try and adapt from this demo:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("button").click(function(){
        $.getJSON("json1.json", function(result){
            $.each(result, function(i, obj){
                $("div").append(obj.first + " " + obj.last + " " + obj.desc + " " + "<br>");
            });
        });
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<button>Get JSON data</button>

<div></div>

</body>
</html>

Assuming the "json1.json" is in the same directory of the html file and contains:

[
	{"first":"fgdfb", "last":"dfghdfgh", "desc":"jjif"},
	{"first":"jdtyhjn", "last":"hmbnmgh", "desc":"hfhhfyif"},
	{"first":"fgbnfgjthj", "last":"tewgsdfgngh", "desc":"argrayif"},
	{"first":"kuykyky", "last":"bfbffc", "desc":"lykghif"},
	{"first":"thefirstname", "last":"dsfhngh", "desc":"pgkkgff"},
	{"first":"ghjjhb", "last":"fdasfgh", "desc":"nfhdfhjif"},
	{"first":"ohhklhjb", "last":"qsdwdgh", "desc":"vfrfeif"}
]
