JQuery, array problem

Question

It seems that the following code doesn't print anything, while, as you can see, it should. Basically there are no errors reported by Firebug.

 var assign = {
 'href' : {
 '.voteUp' : '?p=action&a=voteup&pid='+ value.PostPID,
 '.voteDown' : '?p=action&a=votedown&pid='+ value.PostPID,
 '.postImage a': '?p=user&uid='+ value.UserUID
 },
 'src' : {
 '.postImage img' : value.UserImage
 },
 'html' : {
 '.repCount' : value.PostRep,
 '.postInfo .rep': value.UserRep,
 '.postInfo .name': value.UserName,
 '.postInfo .time': value.PostTime,
 '.postMessage' : value.PostText
 }
 };
 $.each(assign, function(type, data) {
 switch (type)
 {
 case 'html':
 $.each(data, function(handler, value) {
 $('#'+ value.PostPID +' '+ handler).html(value);
 });
 break;
 case 'href':
 case 'src':
 $.each(data, function(handler, value) {
 $('#'+ value.PostPID +' '+ handler).attr(type, value);
 });
 break;
 }
 });

This is part of other code, but the rest of the script works well (for example, after this code there is a function that fadeIn the contents). If you cannot find anything bad here, please comment above and i'll add the entire script. Thanks.

None of the objects have a PostPID property.

Since value represents the object referenced b html, src etc., you need to use a property in those objects, to get the proper value.

For example:

case 'html':
 $.each(data, function(handler, value) {
 $('#'+ value['.repCount']+' '+ handler).html(value);
 });
break;

Or perhaps you wanted the other value identifier (the source of which is not included in the question).

In that case, rename the parameter for the $.each() handler to something else.

case 'html':
 // renamed value paramter---v---to make the previous "value" accessible
 $.each(data, function(handler, v) {
 $('#'+ value.PostPID+' '+ handler).html(v['.repCount']);
 // original----^ "each" parameter------^
 });
break;
