How to get the value of a reduce function?

["Luis M. Gonzalez" <lu...@gmail.com>]

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question,  I'm new to couchdb and although I
tried, I couldn't find the way to do this simple task.
I have created aview which computes the sum of all ages of a family members
(this is just for learning purpose, not very useful at all):

The view's url is this:
http://neuruss.iriscouch.com/_utils/database.html?family/_design/ages/_view/ages
The json result of this view is this one (as seen in "raw view"):

    {"rows":[
    {"key":null,"value":558}
    ]}

So, for displaying the value on my attachment (index.html), I use this
jquery snippet:

   $.getJSON("http://neuruss.iriscouch.com/family/_design/ages/_view/ages",
function(json){
   				$(".description").text(json.rows[0].value);

    });


But it doesn't work...

I suppose the result is a json object, so why can't I see the result?

I tried parsing it with "JSON.parse.." but it didn't work. I also
tried showing the whole json result, not just its value, but didn't
work either.

Any hint?


Thanks in advance...

Luis

Hi everybody, thanks for your replies and sorry for my delay.
(I use to check this mailing list through Google Groups, and this is were I 
removed my question because I quickly realized I made a dumb mistake...).

I was using two different instances of my app while playing with it, and I tried 
accessing one from the other by mistake. So Jason, you are right...

Thanks again!
Luis

The example URL he gave does return a view result. But you might be right.

Luis, I do not see an index.html file attached in that design
document. One point of friction with CouchDB is the web browser
same-origin restrictions. For example, if you load index.html from a
foreign site and try to getJSON from your couch, you will not get the
query result.

Another clue is that you are using a full, absolute URL in your
example. That is okay, but perhaps you did that because your web page
is from a different site?

You tried to show the whole result and it didn't work?
Can you check what the value of "json" is? Maybe show something if
it's == false or === undefined or null or something?
