I've created a HTML page that displays JSON array data in table. The arrays includes ID, Title, and an image. It looks great but the image is currently just text, when I need it to display the actual image of the link. I have no idea how to tackle this.

HTML:

<div id="container">
  <div id="one_article" style="">
    <table id="article_table" class="table table-bordered ">
      <th>ID</th>
      <th>Title</th>
      <th>Cover Image</th>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Javascript:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.getJSON("article.json", function(data){
    console.log(data) //just to log in console as well
    var article_data = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
      article_data += '<tr>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.id+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.title+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.cover+'</td>';
      article_data += '</tr>';
    });
    $('#article_table').append(article_data);
  });
});

• You just need to put the img tag with the url from your JSON. <img src=" '+ value.cover +' " > – MrNew Commented Aug 10, 2017 at 16:50

Use img tag to display image:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.getJSON("article.json", function(data){
    console.log(data) //just to log in console as well
    var article_data = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
      article_data += '<tr>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.id+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.title+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td><img src="'+value.cover+'"></td>';
      article_data += '</tr>';
    });
    $('#article_table').append(article_data);
  });
});

Use the tag img src="" to show the image. The JS code should be like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.getJSON("article.json", function(data){
    console.log(data) //just to log in console as well
    var article_data = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
      article_data += '<tr>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.id+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.title+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td> <img src="'+value.cover+'"> </td>';
      article_data += '</tr>';
    });
    $('#article_table').append(article_data);
  });
});

Following to my first ment, just add img tag like usual in your td

$(document).ready(function() {
  $.getJSON("article.json", function(data){
    console.log(data) //just to log in console as well
    var article_data = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
      article_data += '<tr>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.id+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.title+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td><img src="'+value.cover+'"></td>';
      article_data += '</tr>';
    });
    $('#article_table').append(article_data);
  });
});

Working Demo

$(document).ready(function() {
    var data = [
      {
       "id":1,
       "title":"title1",
       "cover":"https://dummyimage./300"
      },
      {
       "id":2,
       "title":"title2",
       "cover":"https://dummyimage./200"
      },
      {
       "id":3,
       "title":"title3",
       "cover":"https://dummyimage./400"
      }
    ];
    var article_data = '';
    $.each(data, function(key, value){
      article_data += '<tr>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.id+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td>'+value.title+'</td>';
      article_data += '<td><img src="'+value.cover+'"></td>';
      article_data += '</tr>';
    });
    $('#article_table').append(article_data);
});
