Well I am a crap javascript programmer (think duplo building blocks)
but this works for me - is this what you were missing?
<script type="text/javascript">
$.getJSON("/mydb/d...@example.org", function(json){
alert(json.name + " lives in " + json.location + " and you
can fax
to " + json.fax);
});
</script>
& the doc on the couch:
{
"_id": "d...@example.org",
"type": "contact",
"site": "NZL.Wellington",
"phone": "+64 4 9727208",
"fax": "+64 4 9727123",
"name": "Dave Cottlehuber"
}
It should be the same for a view, your URL will be different.
cheers
Dave
