I have a JSON response like the following.

"result": [
    [1, 0.10, 1.00],
    [2, 0.20, 2.00],
    [3, 0.30, 3.00],
    [4, 0.40, 4.00],
    [5, 0.50, 5.00],
    [6, 0.60, 6.00],
    [7, 0.70, 7.00],
    [8, 0.80, 8.00],
    [9, 0.90, 9.00],
    [10, 1.00, 10.00],
    [11, 1.10, 11.00],
    [12, 1.20, 12.00],
    [13, 1.30, 13.00],
    [14, 1.40, 14.00],
    [15, 1.50, 15.00],
    [16, 1.60, 16.00],
    [17, 1.70, 17.00],
    [18, 1.80, 18.00]
]

This corresponds to a java.util.List<Object[]> in Java.

The response is received by the following JavaScript/jQuery function.

            }, 30000);
        }

I want to display this list of data in <table> in the following format.

The $.each function in the success handler currently displays this list in <table> in the following format.

How to show this list in a table of four columns as shown by an equivalent snap shot above?

• Honestly, you could probably save yourself a lot of bother with something along the lines of datatables – Moby's Stunt Double Commented Feb 18, 2014 at 19:50
• not related, but... datatype -> dataType – Kevin B Commented Feb 18, 2014 at 19:51

Sorted by: Reset to default 2

Something like this should work (and here's a fiddle to demonstrate: http://jsfiddle/83d4w/5/) :

var newTr = null;
var resetTr = true;
$.each(list, function(index, list) {
    list[2]===null||list[2]===undefined||list[2]===''||isNaN(list[2])?tempWeight='':tempWeight=list[2].toFixed(2);
    if (!newTr) {
        // create new row
        newTr = $('<tr>');
        // do not reset it this time
        resetTr = false;
    } else {
        // we used the previous one so reset it this time
        resetTr = true;
    }
    newTr.appendTo($table)
        .append($('<td>').text(list[1]))
        .append($("<td><input type='text' name='txtCharge[]' value='"+tempWeight+"' onkeypress='return isNumberKey(event, this.value);'>"));

    if (resetTr) {
        // reset
        newTr = null;
    }
});

• newTr contains the current tr being used or is null.
• resetTr will decide if we reset newTr at the end of the loop.

[edit] Oh and of course you can unment the two heading cells

You'll have to replace your $.each call with an actual for loop, and then inside your loop, create the td tags for index and index+1. Then the for loop should increment the index by 2 instead of by 1. That way, your loop is basically adding a row for every other index, and putting two indices per row.
