“Walk” JSON response and populate form fields — more efficient approach?

Question

I know there is a far more elegant/efficient way of doing this (in php I would use foreach) but with jQuery how can I walk the var/val pairs of a JSON response and populate

Answer 1

You can get rid of all "if" statements by replacing your $.each with this:

$.each(data, function(i, item){
  $("#"+item.field).val(item.value);
});
