Ok so what I wan't to achieve is when I mouse over an element to make an ajax call to return json data that will then be turned into a JS object to be used in the current view. Is this the correct way of doing this? for some reason the object returned has no properties but it's showing in the console log as a correct object.
$('element').mouseover(function(){
$.get('phppath', function(data) {
var item = $.parseJSON(data);
});
});
When I console.log the item it will display correctly, when I try to access its properties they result in undefined. eg item.property = undefined, item = [object]
