How to include array content in HTML?

I have this code

var users = result.users; // array

$("#dialog:ui-dialog").dialog("destroy");

$("#dialog-confirm").dialog({
    resizable: false,
    he开发者_Go百科ight: 140,
    modal: true,
    open: function() {
    $(this).children('div.dialog-text').replaceWith("<b>New text goes here</b>");
    },

    buttons: {
    "Okay": function() {
        $(this).dialog("close");
    },
    Cancel: function() {
        is_okay = 0;
        $(this).dialog("close");
    }
    }
});

where the array contain data in the form of

{"ss":"Sandra Schlichting","fn":"Full name"}

What I am trying to accomplish is to get the content of the arrays in the form of (white space inserted for readability)

<table>
  <tr>  <td>Initials</td>  <td>Full Name         </td>  </tr>
  <tr>  <td>ss      </td>  <td>Sandra Schlichting</td>  </tr>
  <tr>  <td>fn      </td>  <td>Full name         </td>  </tr>
</table>

and have that replaced with <b>New text goes here</b> in

$(this).children('div.dialog-text').replaceWith("<b>New text goes here</b>");

From what I can tell $.each() should be used for this.

But still I can't quite figure out how to get started.

Can anyone help me out?

You can use a JS for-in to loop through it.

<table id='nameTable'>
  <tr>  <td>Initials</td>  <td>Full Name         </td>  </tr>
</table>

var names = {
    "ss": "Sandra Schlichting",
    "fn": "Full name"
};
var $table = $('#nameTable');
var row   = '';
for (name in names) {
    row += '<tr><td>' + name + '</td><td>' + names[name] + '</td></tr>';
}
$table.append(row)

Here's a fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/exP2b/4/

function makeTable(users) {
    var result = '<table><tr><td>Initials</td><td>Full Name</td></tr>\n';
    $.each(users, function(index, value) {
        result += '<tr><td>' + index + '</td><td>' + value + '</td></tr>\n';
    });
    result += '</table>';
    return (result);
}

alert(makeTable({"ss":"Sandra Schlichting","fn":"Full name"}));
